block: fix incorrect references to disk objects
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When adding partitions to the disk, the reference count of the disk
object is increased. then alloc partition device and called
device_add(), if the device_add() return error, the reference
count of the disk object will be reduced twice, at put_device(pdev)
and put_disk(disk). this leads to the end of the object's life cycle
prematurely, and trigger following calltrace.
