From df44f9f4f9b5d362b5a2d1c8444fe7e6d4c42653 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2010 17:26:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] AFS: Fix the module init error handling Fix the module init error handling. There are a bunch of goto labels for aborting the init procedure at different points and just undoing what needs undoing - they aren't all in the right places, however. This can lead to an oops like the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020 IP: [] destroy_workqueue+0x17/0xc0 ...
