Subject: [PATCH] Fix for module initialization failure
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 10:35:53 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031029233556.939E52C472@lists.samba.org> (raw)

Need a module_arch_cleanup() after a successful module_finalize()
call: it was missing in the case where module->init() fails.  Since
module_arch_cleanup() is a noop on x86, I didn't spot it earlier.

Thanks to Paul Mackerras for prodding me about this again...

Rusty.

Name: Always call module_arch_cleanup
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Booted on 2.6.0-test5-bk1

D: Bug reported by Paul Mackerras: if a module parameter fails, we didn't
D: call module_arch_cleanup().
