[PATCH v3 09/10] dmaengine: idxd: Fix freeing the allocated ida too late

From: Vinicius Costa Gomes

Date: Wed Jan 21 2026 - 15:16:10 EST


It can happen that when the cdev .release() is called, the driver
already called ida_destroy(). Move ida_free() to the _del() path.

We see with DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE enabled and forcing an early PCI
unbind.
