Subject: [patch] s390: tape class return value handling.
Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 17:05:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060807150516.GA10416@skybase> (raw)
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
[S390] tape class return value handling.
Without this patch register_tape_dev() will always fail, but might
return a value that is not an error number. This will lead to accesses
to already freed memory areas...
