[PATCH 4.18 211/350] libnvdimm: Hold reference on parent while scheduling async init

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 18:25:55 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b6eae0f61db27748606cc00dafcfd1e2c032f0a5 upstream.

Unlike asynchronous initialization in the core we have not yet associated
the device with the parent, and as such the device doesn't hold a reference
to the parent.

In order to resolve that we should be holding a reference on the parent
until the asynchronous initialization has completed.
