Calling i2c_unregister_device for a demod driver destroys the frontend object. Later it is accessed by calling dvb_unregister_frontend and dvb_frontend_detach. In some cases this leads to a general protection fault with this callstack: dvb_unregister_frontend+0x25/0x50 [dvb_core] dvb_fini+0xdb/0x160 [cx231xx_dvb] cx231xx_unregister_extension+0x3d/0xb0 [cx231xx] cx231xx_dvb_unregister+0x10/0x809 [cx231xx_dvb] SyS_delete_module+0x18a/0x240 ? exit_to_usermode_loop+0x7b/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x17/0x98 Signed-off-by: Matthias Schwarzott <zzam@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
