Subject: [PATCH 1/4] libata sata_qstor fix oops on rmmod
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2007 10:51:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4731DF06.3050202@rtr.ca> (raw)

sata_qstor fix oops on rmmod.

sata_qstor likes to disable the chip on module unload,
so it provides a libata "host_stop" method to do this.
But in recent kernels, this routine is now called too late,
after the PCI mmio resources have already been released.
Which produces an oops.

This really needs to be fixed higher up.
For an interim workaround, we disable this function for now.

This belongs in 2.6.24.
