From 4ed919014eb2b591eb8fdd4dd00226a65faddef4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 14:30:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] parport_pc: make sure to release IO ports after probing for IT87XX Commit f63fd7e299ee13da071ecfce2b90b58c5e1562b1 ("parport_pc: detection for SuperIO IT87XX POST") only released the IO port region on success, not when the probe for the IT87XX chip failed. That caused not only a reserved region to leak, but also caused an oops when the driver module was unloaded and somebody tried to cat /proc/ioports - because the string that was assigned to the IO port region was a static string in the module virtual address area.
