Subject: [PATCH 2.6.17-rc5] pcnet32: remove incorrect pcnet32_free_ring
Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 16:22:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060525232240.GA30918@us.ibm.com> (raw)
During a code scan for another change I discovered that this call to
pcnet32_free_ring must be removed. If the open fails due to a lack of
memory all the ring structures are removed via the call to free_ring
and a subsequent call to open will dereference a null pointer in
pcnet32_init_ring.
Please apply to 2.6.17.
