Most fbdev drivers have issues with the fb_info lifetime, because call to framebuffer_release() from their driver's .remove callback, rather than doing from fbops.fb_destroy callback. Doing that will destroy the fb_info too early, while references to it may still exist, leading to a use-after-free error. To prevent this, check the fb_info reference counter when attempting to kfree the data structure in framebuffer_release(). That will leak it but at least will prevent the mentioned error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
