Subject: [PATCH 3/5] cxl/memdev: Pin parents for entire memdev lifetime
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 14:01:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519210158.1499795-4-djbw@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260519210158.1499795-1-djbw@kernel.org>
In order to be able to manage the driver that uses a memdev attach
mechanism the parent needs to stick around for the
device_release_driver(cxlmd->dev.parent) event.
Fixes: 29317f8dc6ed ("cxl/mem: Introduce cxl_memdev_attach for CXL-dependent operation")
