When calling remove_memory_block(), the function shows following message at device_release().
Device 'memory528' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. remove_memory_block() calls kfree(mem). I think it shouled be called from device_release(). So the patch implements memory_block_release() CC: David Rientjes <[email protected]> CC: Jiang Liu <[email protected]> CC: Len Brown <[email protected]> CC: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email protected]> CC: Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> CC: Christoph Lameter <[email protected]> Cc: Minchan Kim <[email protected]> CC: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> CC: KOSAKI Motohiro <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <[email protected]> --- drivers/base/memory.c | 11 ++++++++++- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Index: linux-3.5-rc4/drivers/base/memory.c =================================================================== --- linux-3.5-rc4.orig/drivers/base/memory.c 2012-07-03 14:21:58.335263984 +0900 +++ linux-3.5-rc4/drivers/base/memory.c 2012-07-03 14:22:08.094141981 +0900 @@ -108,6 +108,15 @@ bool is_memblk_offline(unsigned long sta } EXPORT_SYMBOL(is_memblk_offline); +#define to_memory_block(device) container_of(device, struct memory_block, dev) + +static void release_memory_block(struct device *dev) +{ + struct memory_block *mem = to_memory_block(dev); + + kfree(mem); +} + /* * register_memory - Setup a sysfs device for a memory block */ @@ -118,6 +127,7 @@ int register_memory(struct memory_block memory->dev.bus = &memory_subsys; memory->dev.id = memory->start_section_nr / sections_per_block; + memory->dev.release = release_memory_block; error = device_register(&memory->dev); return error; @@ -668,7 +678,6 @@ int remove_memory_block(unsigned long no mem_remove_simple_file(mem, phys_device); mem_remove_simple_file(mem, removable); unregister_memory(mem); - kfree(mem); } else kobject_put(&mem->dev.kobj); _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
