Subject: [ 35/48] loopdev: remove an user triggerable oops
Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:08:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130318210812.727226489@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130318210810.247845918@linuxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guo Chao <yan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit b1a6650406875b9097a032eed89af50682fe1160 upstream.

When loopdev is built as module and we pass an invalid parameter,
loop_init() will return directly without deregister misc device, which
will cause an oops when insert loop module next time because we left some
garbage in the misc device list.

Test case:
sudo modprobe loop max_part=1024
(failed due to invalid parameter)
sudo modprobe loop
(oops)

Clean up nicely to avoid such oops.
