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.
