From 36b477d005fbda29e7581c3cef7ee31a59d8970b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Bityutskiy Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:04:09 +0200 Subject: UBI: fix resource de-allocation GregKH asked to fix UBI which has fake device release method. Indeed, we have to free UBI device description object from the release method, because otherwise we'll oops is someone opens a UBI device sysfs file, then the device is removed, and he reads the file. With this fix, he will get -ENODEV instead of an oops.
