[patch 2/2] acpi: fix single linked list manipulation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx>

Fix single linked list manipulation for sub_driver.  If the remving entry
is not on the head of the sub_driver list, it goes into infinate loop.

Though that infinite loop doesn't happen.  Because the only user of
acpi_pci_register_dirver() is acpiphp.
