Subject: [PATCH] lpfc: avoid double-free during PCI error failure
Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2007 16:19:11 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070308221911.GC30703@austin.ibm.com> (raw)


Bino, James,
Please review, sign-off and forward upstream.

--linas


If a PCI error is detected that cannot be recovered from, there
will be a double call of lpfc_pci_remove_one(), with the second call
resulting in a null-pointer dereference. The first call occurs in 
lpfc_io_error_detected(), and the second call during pci device 
remove. This patch eliminates the first call; its un-needed.
