Subject: [PATCH 2/2][Patch-next] ACPI, APEI, HEST Fix the unsuitable usage of platform_data.
Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:20:34 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C7F5042.8070006@np.css.fujitsu.com> (raw)
platform_data in hest_parse_ghes() is used for saving the address of entry
information of erst_tab. When the device is failed to be added, platform_data
will be freed by platform_device_put(). But the value saved in platform_data
should not be freed here. If it is done, it will make system panic.
So I think platform_data should save the address of allocated memory
which saves entry information of erst_tab.
This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree.
v2:
Transport the pointer of hest_hdr to platform_data using
platform_device_add_data()
