That is confusing at best and it may also lead to functional issues if the callers of kobject_cleanup() are not careful enough about the order in which these calls are made, so avoid the problem by making kobject_cleanup() drop the last reference to the target kobject's parent at the end, after invoking the target kobject's ->release() method. [ rjw: Rewrite the subject and changelog, make kobject_cleanup() drop the parent reference only when __kobject_del() has been called. ] Reported-by: Naresh Kamboju Reported-by: kernel test robot Fixes: 7589238a8cf3 ("Revert "software node: Simplify software_node_release() function"") Suggested-by: Rafael J.
