That's not what I meant at all. Your patch only introduces one put_device(). We need all five to fix the bug, and we'll have to change the kfree(link_whatever). Use device_unregister() instead put_device(). Include a Reported-by with the correct syzkaller information. > > BTW, could you please show me the syzbot link for the bug you tried to > resolve?
