Hi Meng,

Sorry for the delay -- I was on vacation.  I agree with you -- thanks.
However, note that in function  device_release()  in
drivers/base/core.c  there is this line:

kfree(dev->dma_range_map);

Won't this also be called  if all of the appropriate drivers' probes
fail for this device, effecting a double kfree?  Perhaps your patch
could also set "dev->dma_range_map" to NULL after calling kfree()?

Thanks much,
Jim Quinlan
