Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 01:42:29 +0800 From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@...onical.com> To: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Ming Lei <tom.leiming@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH] driver core: free devres in device_release From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@...il.com> device_del can happen anytime, so once it happens, the devres of the device will be freed inside device_del, but drivers can't know it has been deleted and may still add resources into the device, so memory leak is caused. This patch moves the devres_release_all to fix the problem.
