    libata: add refcounting to ata_host · 2623c7a5
    Taras Kondratiuk authored
    After commit 9a6d6a2d ("ata: make ata port as parent device of scsi
    host") manual driver unbind/remove causes use-after-free.
    
    Unbind unconditionally invokes devres_release_all() which calls
    ata_host_release() and frees ata_host/ata_port memory while it is still
    being referenced as a parent of SCSI host. When SCSI host is finally
    released scsi_host_dev_release() calls put_device(parent) and accesses
    freed ata_port memory.
    
    Add reference counting to make sure that ata_host lives long enough.
