Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/rtas_flash: Free kmem upon module exit
Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2013 16:48:36 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130208111742.31083.67858.stgit@hegdevasant.in.ibm.com> (raw)
Memory allocated to rtas_firmware_flash_list in rtas_flash_write
is not freed during module exit. We hit below call trace if we
unload rtas_flash module after loading new firmware image and
before rebooting the system.
Call trace:
