x86/amd_node: Fix PCI device reference counting in amd_smn_init()grafted
The local "root" pointer is a temporary variable used during the device search. Therefore, refcount related to the search iterators should be cleaned up after the search is complete. Use the __free() cleanup macro to ensure the refcount is decremented when the temporary pointer goes out of scope. Additionally, increment the refcount when caching a root pointer. This ensures the in-use refcount is separate from the temporary search refcounting. Finally, drop the redundant "root = NULL" before the second search loop. The pci_get_class() iterator always decrements the refcount of its "from" argument, so the first loop can only fall through with "root" already NULL. Fixes: 0a4b61d9c2e4 ("x86/amd_node: Fix AMD root device caching") Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260806160159.230453-1-jason.andryuk%40amd.com Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org> Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Reviewed-by: Mario Limonciello (AMD) <superm1@kernel.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260903154325.74343-1-yazen.ghannam@amd.com

+===============================================
+pvr2fb - PowerVR 2 graphics frame buffer driver
+===============================================
+
+This is a driver for PowerVR 2 based graphics frame buffers, such as the
+one found in the Dreamcast.
+
+Advantages:
+
+ * It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
+ without using tiny, unreadable fonts (NOT on the Dreamcast)
+ * You can run XF86_FBDev on top of /dev/fb0
+ * Most important: boot logo :-)
+
+Disadvantages:
+
+ * Driver is largely untested on non-Dreamcast systems.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+You can pass kernel command line options to pvr2fb with
+`video=pvr2fb:option1,option2:value2,option3` (multiple options should be
+separated by comma, values are separated from options by `:`).
+
+Accepted options:
+
+========== ==================================================================
+font:X default font to use. All fonts are supported, including the
+ SUN12x22 font which is very nice at high resolutions.
+
+
+mode:X default video mode with format [xres]x[yres]-<bpp>@<refresh rate>
+ The following video modes are supported:
+ 640x640-16@60, 640x480-24@60, 640x480-32@60. The Dreamcast
+ defaults to 640x480-16@60. At the time of writing the
+ 24bpp and 32bpp modes function poorly. Work to fix that is
+ ongoing
+
+ Note: the 640x240 mode is currently broken, and should not be
+ used for any reason. It is only mentioned here as a reference.
+
+inverse invert colors on screen (for LCD displays)
+
+nomtrr disables write combining on frame buffer. This slows down driver
+ but there is reported minor incompatibility between GUS DMA and
+ XFree under high loads if write combining is enabled (sound
+ dropouts). MTRR is enabled by default on systems that have it
+ configured and that support it.
+
+cable:X cable type. This can be any of the following: vga, rgb, and
+ composite. If none is specified, we guess.
+
+output:X output type. This can be any of the following: pal, ntsc, and
+ vga. If none is specified, we guess.
+========== ==================================================================
+
+X11
+===
+
+XF86_FBDev has been shown to work on the Dreamcast in the past - though not yet
+on any 2.6 series kernel.
