Subject: [PATCH 4/7] sfc: Clear I2C adapter structure in falcon_remove_nic()
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:53:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1236196382.3140.21.camel@achroite> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1236196272.3140.15.camel@achroite>
i2c_del_adapter() leaves dangling pointers in the structure. If we
retry the NIC probe and pass the structure to i2c_add_adapter() again
it will lead to an oops unless we clear it first.

Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
They asked us to note that Solarflare product names are trademarked.
