Subject: [RFC PATCH 6.6.y 2/4] misc: ti-st: account published transport users
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 13:28:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724052842.1052-3-getshell@seu.edu.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724052842.1052-1-getshell@seu.edu.cn>
The shared transport entry points obtain a raw core pointer through
st_kim_ref(). Removal needs to stop new lookups and wait for existing
users before freeing that core.
Serialize publication and lookup, count successful lookups, and use a
scope cleanup to release the count on every return path. This prepares
the removal path to drain the users without a large error-path rewrite.
Fixes: 53618cc1e51e ("Staging: sources for ST core")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
