This patch series fixes 2 different BUGS that didn't reveal themselves until the 3.15 series started.
patch 1 fixes how we insure the config data is a string. The original code is clearly just wrong. After many loads/unloads of the driver, various OOPs would occure. None of which indicated this driver as the problem. patch 2 fixes the following OOPS. We were freeing memory with a pointer that had been changed between the malloc and free. kernel: [ 191.855797] dgap: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. kernel: [ 191.856091] dgap-1.3-16, Digi International Part Number 40002347_C kernel: [ 191.856092] For the tools package please visit http://www.digi.com kernel: [ 191.856541] dgap: board 0: AccelePort Xr920 8 port (rev 1), irq 17 kernel: [ 191.874909] ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel: [ 191.874914] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3792 at kernel/rcu/tree.c:2470 __call_rcu.constprop.66+0x10c/0x1c0() kernel: [ 191.874915] Modules linked in: dgap(C+) bnep bluetooth rfkill 6lowpan_iphc nvidia(PO) kvm snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_codec_generic snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep crc32_pclmul snd_pcm r8169 3c59x crc32c_intel snd_seq mii aesni_intel snd_timer snd_seq_device synclink_gt hdlc snd ablk_helper cryptd sr_mod cdrom gpiohsd(O) eprm(O) rfm2g(O) lrw soundcore shpchp tpm_infineon tpm_tis tpm sp5100_tco mxm_wmi rtom(O) aes_i586 pcspkr i2c_piix4 wmi serio_raw k10temp fam15h_power button xts sg ohci_pci gf128mul edd autofs4 xhci_hcd processor thermal_sys scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_alua scsi_dh_hp_sw scsi_dh ata_generic aic7xxx aic79xx scsi_transport_spi pata_atiixp kernel: [ 191.874944] CPU: 0 PID: 3792 Comm: modprobe Tainted: P C O 3.14.0-lcrs #2 kernel: [ 191.874946] Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
