[PATCH 5.15 061/846] cxl/pmem: Fix reference counting for delayed work

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 24 2022 - 15:39:25 EST


From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 08b9e0ab8af48895337192e683de44ab1e1b7427 upstream.

There is a potential race between queue_work() returning and the
queued-work running that could result in put_device() running before
get_device(). Introduce the cxl_nvdimm_bridge_state_work() helper that
takes the reference unconditionally, but drops it if no new work was
queued, to keep the references balanced.
