Subject: [PATCH RESEND] powerpc/rtas_flash: Free kmem upon module exit
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:18:09 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130419114737.20439.54937.stgit@hegdevasant> (raw)

Memory allocated to flash_block_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.
