![]() The kernel commit cited below restructured ib device management so that the device kobject is initialized in ib_alloc_device. As part of the restructuring, the kobject is now initialized in procedure ib_alloc_device, and is later added to the device hierarchy in the ib_register_device call stack, in procedure ib_device_register_sysfs (which calls device_add). However, in the ib_device_register_sysfs error flow, if an error occurs following the call to device_add, the cleanup procedure device_unregister is called. This call results in the device object being deleted -- which results in various use-after-free crashes. The correct cleanup call is device_del -- which undoes device_add without deleting the device object. The device object will then (correctly) be deleted in the ib_register_device caller's error cleanup flow, when the caller invokes ib_dealloc_device.
