Subject: [PATCH] fix oops on rmmod capidrv
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:50:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200801241750.14669.gerd.von.egidy@intra2net.com> (raw)

Hi,

I think the patch below fixes a long-standing bug on rmmod capidrv. Please 
apply.

Kind regards,

Gerd

Fix overwriting the stack with the version string
(it is currently 10 bytes + zero) when unloading the
capidrv module. Safeguard against overwriting it
should the version string grow in the future.

Should fix Kernel Bug Tracker Bug 9696.
