When calling remove_memory_block(), the function shows following message at
device_release().
Device 'memory528' does not have a release() function, it is broken and
must
be fixed.
What's the difference between the patch and original implemetation?
The implementation is for removing a memory_block. So the purpose is
same as original one. But original code is bad manner. kobject_cleanup()
is called by remove_memory_block() at last. But release function for
releasing memory_block is not registered. As a result, the kernel message
is shown. IMHO, memory_block should be release by the releae function.
Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu
remove_memory_block() calls kfree(mem). I think it shouled be called from
device_release(). So the patch implements memory_block_release()
