2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Breno Leitao commit 95caa0a9bdaf93607bd0cc8932f53112496f2f22 upstream. Actually the icom driver is crashing when is being removed because the driver is kfreeing the adapter structure before calling pci_release_regions(), which result in the following error: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6d33 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000246b80 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] ....
