[ Upstream commit079ad2fb4b] If kobject_del() is invoked by kobject_cleanup() to delete the target kobject, it may cause its parent kobject to be freed before invoking the target kobject's ->release() method, which effectively means freeing the parent before dealing with the child entirely. That is confusing at best and it may also lead to functional issues if the callers of kobject_cleanup() are not careful enough about the order in which these calls are made, so avoid the problem by making kobject_cleanup() drop the last reference to the target kobject's parent at the end, after invoking the target kobject's ->release() method.

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.
