[PATCH 5.13 242/351] block: grab a device refcount in disk_uevent

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 19 2021 - 13:51:28 EST


From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 498dcc13fd6463de29b94e160f40ed04d5477cd8 ]

Sending uevents requires the struct device to be alive. To
ensure that grab the device refcount instead of just an inode
reference.
