This is happening in the DRM framework for example.</p> <p>We should thus call devres_release_all() in the device_del() function to make sure that the device-managed actions are properly executed when the device is unregistered, even if it has neither a bus nor a driver.</p> <p>This is effectively the same change than commit 2f8d16a996da (&#34;devres: release resources on device_del()&#34;) that got reverted by commit a525a3ddeaca (&#34;driver core: free devres in device_release&#34;) over memory leaks concerns.</p> <p>This patch effectively combines the two commits mentioned above to release the resources both on device_del() and device_release() and get the best of both worlds.</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Linux</p> <p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p> <p>drivers: base: Free devm resources when unregistering a device</p> <p>In the current code, devres_release_all() only gets called if the device has a bus and has been probed.</p> <p>This leads to issues when using bus-less or driver-less devices where the device might never get freed if a managed resource holds a reference to the device.
