Subject: [PATCH v1] mtd: ubi: Release device reference on busy detach
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 16:45:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807204550.1016755-1-dbgh9129@gmail.com> (raw)

ubi_detach_mtd_dev() obtains a device reference through ubi_get_device()
before checking whether the UBI device is busy. The busy return path drops
ubi->ref_count but leaves the device reference held, so the device object
cannot be released after a later detach.

Drop the device reference before returning -EBUSY.

Fixes: 7e84c961b2eb ("mtd: ubi: introduce pre-removal notification for UBI volumes")
