Subject: [patch] 2.4.2-pre3: parport_pc init_module bug
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 23:43:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010213234349.O9459@redhat.com> (raw)

Linus,

Here's a patch that fixes a bug that can cause PCI driver list
corruption.  If parport_pc's init_module fails after it calls
pci_register_driver, cleanup_module isn't called and so it's still
registered when it gets unloaded.

Tim.

	unsuccessful module load (Andrew Morton).
