-Subject: watchdog: Fix the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev
-
-From: Kevin Hao <haokexin@gmail.com>
-
-commit 72139dfa2464e43957d330266994740bb7be2535 upstream.
-
-The struct cdev is embedded in the struct watchdog_core_data. In the
-current code, we manage the watchdog_core_data with a kref, but the
-cdev is manged by a kobject. There is no any relationship between
-this kref and kobject. So it is possible that the watchdog_core_data is
-freed before the cdev is entirely released. We can easily get the
-following call trace with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE and
-CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS enabled.
- ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: delayed_work_timer_fn+0x0/0x38

-This is a common issue when using cdev embedded in a struct.
-Fortunately, we already have a mechanism to solve this kind of issue.
-Please see commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to
-register char devs with a struct device") for more detail.
-
-In this patch, we choose to embed the struct device into the
-watchdog_core_data, and use the API provided by the commit 233ed09d7fda
-to make sure that the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev are
-in sequence.
