Subject: [RFC V2] iommu: correct group reference count
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2015 14:13:28 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447049608-6123-1-git-send-email-van.freenix@gmail.com> (raw)

The basic flow for iommu_group_for_dev is:
iommu_group_get_for_dev
        |->  iommu_group_get   : increase reference count by 1.
             return group;
        |->  ops->device_group : Init/increase reference count to/by 1.
             iommu_group_add_device  : Increase reference count by 1.
             return group;

We can see that ops->device_group and iommu_group_add_device will together
increase the iommu group reference count by 2. Actually we only need 1,
but not 2. So we need add iommu_group_put after iommu_group_add_device
to make sure iommu_group_get_for_dev only increase reference count by 1.

V1 thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/3/304
Changes V2:
 I did not see the update about device_group when I worked out V1. So
 redo the patch and refine commit msg and rebased to latest linus'
 linux master tree.
