Subject: Double free of initramfs
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 18:49:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050316184932.GB16712@linux-mips.org> (raw)

In all linker scripts we currently have something like this:

  __init_begin = .;
 ...
   . = ALIGN(4096);
  __initramfs_start = .;
  .init.ramfs : { *(.init.ramfs) }
  __initramfs_end = .;
  ...
  __init_end = .;

It seems all 25 linker scripts in the current bk tree are suffering from
this.  Which mean with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD enabled first free_initrd_mem
may be called to free the initram disk and just a little later
free_initmem will try to free the entire range again, so either the
linker scripts would need fixing or free_initrd_mem has become obsolete.
