This fixes a memory-corrupting bug: not only does it cause the warning,
but as a result of dropping the refcount to zero, it causes the
pcmcia_socket0 device structure to be freed while it still has
references, causing slab caches corruption. A fatal oops quickly
follows this warning - often even just a 'dmesg' following the warning
causes the kernel to oops.
While testing suspend/resume on an ARM device with PCMCIA support, and a
CF card inserted, I found that after five suspend and resumes, the
kernel would complain, and shortly die after with slab corruption.
WARNING: at include/linux/kref.h:41 kobject_get+0x28/0x50()
As the message doesn't give a clue about which kobject, and the built-in
debugging in drivers/base/power/main.c happens too late, this was added
right before each get_device():
printk("%s: %p [%s] %u\n", __func__, dev, kobject_name(&dev->kobj), atomic_read(&dev->kobj.kref.refcount));
and on the 3rd s2ram cycle, the following behaviour observed:
