[PATCH] libata: add refcounting to ata_host

From: Taras Kondratiuk
Date: Fri Mar 09 2018 - 03:34:55 EST


After commit 9a6d6a2ddabb ("ata: make ata port as parent device of scsi
host") manual driver unbind/remove causes use-after-free.

Unbind unconditionally invokes devres_release_all() which calls
ata_host_release() and frees ata_host/ata_port memory while it is still
being referenced as a parent of SCSI host. When SCSI host is finally
released scsi_host_dev_release() calls put_device(parent) and accesses
freed ata_port memory.

Add reference counting to make sure that ata_host lives long enough.
