From 7cd5c22944bf7abdec73beab9c30d46d363cdbfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 17:48:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] EDAC: Fix workqueue-related crashes commit bb31b3122c0dd07d2d958da17a50ad771ce79e2b upstream. 00740c58541b6087d78418cebca1fcb86dc6077d changed edac_core to un-/register a workqueue item only if a lowlevel driver supplies a polling routine. Normally, when we remove a polling low-level driver, we go and cancel all the queued work. However, the workqueue unreg happens based on the ->op_state setting, and edac_mc_del_mc() sets this to OP_OFFLINE _before_ we cancel the work item, leading to NULL ptr oops on the workqueue list. Fix it by putting the unreg stuff in proper order.
