SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 1/5] clk: Remove prepare_lock hold assertion in __clk_release()
From
Date
Quoting Stephen Boyd (2024-03-25 11:41:55)
> Removing this assertion lets us move the kref_put() call outside the
> prepare_lock section. We don't need to hold the prepare_lock here to
> free memory and destroy the clk_core structure. We've already unlinked
> the clk from the clk tree and by the time the release function runs
> nothing holds a reference to the clk_core anymore so anything with the
> pointer can't access the memory that's being freed anyway. Way back in
> commit 496eadf821c2 ("clk: Use lockdep asserts to find missing hold of
> prepare_lock") we didn't need to have this assertion either.
