Subject: [PATCH 5.4 085/191] watchdog: Fix the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev
From: Kevin Hao <haokexin@...il.com>
[ Upstream commit 72139dfa2464e43957d330266994740bb7be2535 ]
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.

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.
