From ac818314499b707a97690d5ee835e6ba40a407c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Brown Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 11:28:01 +1100 Subject: [CPUFREQ] Missing "unregister_cpu_notifier" in powernow-k8.c It appears that when powernow-k8 finds that No compatible ACPI _PSS objects found. and suggests Try again with latest BIOS. it fails the module load, but does not unregister the cpu_notifier that was registered in powernowk8_init This ends up leaving freed memory on the cpu notifier list for some other poor module (e.g. md/raid5) to come along and trip over. The following might be a partial fix, but I suspect there is probably other clean-up that is needed. ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=655215 has full dmesg traces).
