Subject: [PATCH] PCI: hotplug: fix error path in pci_slot's register_slot
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:13:32 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080717171332.GD24683@ldl.fc.hp.com> (raw)
Juha Leppänen noticed that an error path in register_slot()
wasn't returning appropriately, leading to a condition where we
might access a kfree'ed pointer, so let's fix that.
Additionally, fix up the copyright information in the file while
we're in there.
