I found the following offending hunk of patch:-
@@ -574,6 +583,11 @@
/* Some data structures must be quadword aligned. */
tp = kmalloc(sizeof(*tp), GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA);
+ if(tp==NULL)
+ {
+ releaseregion(ioaddr, pci_tbl[chip_idx].io_size);
+ return NULL;
+ }
memset(tp, 0, sizeof(*tp));
dev->priv = tp;
Is it obvious fix eg.
- releaseregion(ioaddr, pci_tbl[chip_idx].io_size);
+ release_region(ioaddr, pci_tbl[chip_idx].io_size);
