ata_host_release() uses drvdata to determine ata_host to release and clearing drvdata in ->remove_one causes NULL pointer deference. Clear drvdata only in ata_host_release() after all resources are freed. This bug was first analyzed by Alan Cox for pata_pcmcia. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Alan, this is the bug you talked about, right? I took the fix from "[BUG] PATA_PCMCIA does not work" and expanded it. If this isn't the one, please let me know. Thanks.
Has a tester confirmed that this patch fixes the problem, and supercedes Alan's patch?
