[PATCH v2 1/2] scsi: leapraid: balance host references for firmware log VMAs

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-scsi,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
leapraid_fw_mmap() keeps the Scsi_Host reference obtained while
looking up the adapter for the lifetime of the initial VMA.  The VMA
close callback drops that reference.

The open callback is also invoked when a VMA is duplicated or split,
but it only increments mmap_refcnt.  Since every corresponding close
callback drops a host reference, cloning the mapping can release the
host while another VMA still refers to the adapter.

Take a host device reference for every VMA open and release the lookup
reference once the initial mapping has acquired its own reference.  Use
get_device() because a VMA can be cloned after the host enters SHOST_DEL;
an existing VMA still pins the host at that point and open cannot fail.
