From 8fed43684174b68f04d01d1210fd00536af790df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:28:24 +0100 Subject: ide: fix refcounting in device drivers During host driver module removal del_gendisk() results in a final put on drive->gendev and freeing the drive by drive_release_dev(). Convert device drivers from using struct kref to use struct device so device driver's object holds reference on ->gendev and prevents drive from prematurely going away. Also fix ->remove methods to not erroneously drop reference on a host driver by using only put_device() instead of ide*_put().
