From c578662ec973f2cdc5e7a81f9fec1bfb45440342 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2015 17:28:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_pci: document why we defer kfree commit a1eb03f546d651a8f39c7d0692b1f7f5b4e7e3cd upstream. The reason we defer kfree until release function is because it's a general rule for kobjects: kfree of the reference counter itself is only legal in the release function. Previous patch didn't make this clear, document this in code. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
