Subject: [PATCH] x86, microcode: unregister syscore_ops after microcode unloaded
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 16:34:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1301387672-23661-1-git-send-email-dfeng@redhat.com> (raw)

Currently, microcode doesn't unregister syscore_ops after it's unloaded.
So if we modprobe then rmmod microcode, the stale microcode syscore_ops info
will stay on syscore_ops_list. Later when we're trying to reboot/halt/shutdown
the machine, kernel will panic on syscore_shutdown(). With the patch
applied, I can reboot/halt/shutdown my machine successfully.
