the PR is to fix the regression during the dsa lvks test, kernel stable branch had one partial fix with the 6.6.107.

Tests:
Tested on GNR/CWF with the LKVS test, all test case passwd with the dsa2:
./runtests -f dsa/tests-dsa2

commit f41c538881eec4dcf5961a242097d447f848cda6 upstream.

The call to idxd_free() introduces a duplicate put_device() leading to a
reference count underflow:
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

The idxd_unregister_devices() which is invoked at the very beginning of
idxd_remove(), already takes care of the necessary put_device() through the
following call path:
idxd_unregister_devices() -> device_unregister() -> put_device()

In addition, when CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE is enabled, put_device() may
trigger asynchronous cleanup via schedule_delayed_work(). If idxd_free() is
called immediately after, it can result in a use-after-free.

Remove the improper idxd_free() to avoid both the refcount underflow and
potential memory corruption during module unload.

commit b7cb9a034305d52222433fad10c3de10204f29e7 upstream.

A recent refactor introduced a misplaced put_device() call, resulting in a
reference count underflow during module unload.

There is no need to add additional put_device() calls for idxd groups,
engines, or workqueues. Although the commit claims: "Note, this also
fixes the missing put_device() for idxd groups, engines, and wqs."

It appears no such omission actually existed. The required cleanup is
already handled by the call chain:
idxd_unregister_devices() -> device_unregister() -> put_device()

Extend idxd_cleanup() to handle the remaining necessary cleanup and
remove idxd_cleanup_internals(), which duplicates deallocation logic
for idxd, engines, groups, and workqueues. Memory management is also
properly handled through the Linux device model.

module unload

commit 39aaa337449e71a41d4813be0226a722827ba606 upstream.

The clean up in idxd_setup_wqs() has had a couple bugs because the error
handling is a bit subtle.  It's simpler to just re-write it in a cleaner
way.  The issues here are:

1) If "idxd->max_wqs" is <= 0 then we call put_device(conf_dev) when
   "conf_dev" hasn't been initialized.
2) If kzalloc_node() fails then again "conf_dev" is invalid.  It's
   either uninitialized or it points to the "conf_dev" from the
   previous iteration so it leads to a double free.

It's better to free partial loop iterations within the loop and then
the unwinding at the end can handle whole loop iterations.  I also
renamed the labels to describe what the goto does and not where the goto
was located.
