Which is nonsense, because if the thing has not been allocated in the first place, then it cannot explode in the free path magically, except there is a missing check in the allocation path error handling.
And that's obviously not the case simply because this originates from: > [<fffffe0000449278>] pci_disable_msix+0x40/0x50
Suravee, this is the last warning. I'm tired of your half baken patches which lack any explanation. Read back on my previous replies to your mails for further explanation.
This is not a 'try and error and hack enough nonsensical checks into the code' commercial project.
This is core kernel code and requires proper explanation.
Thanks,
tglx
