Hi Desai, This patch fixes some issues of mptctl_exit(). 1) It doesn't call mpt_deregister() for mptctl_taskmgmt_id => Insmoding/rmmoding mptctl.ko repeadtedly (up to MPT_MAX_PROTOCOL_DRIVERS-1 at most) can eat up all cb_idx, and that would cause a lack of MptCallbacks[], MptDriverClass[], and MptEvHandlers[]. 2) It doesn't call mpt_event_deregister() for mptctl_id => Need to call it. 3) It calls mpt_reset_deregister() for mptctl_taskmgmt_id => This could accidentally deregister an innocent reset handler that you don't want to. This patch also adds a check for mptctl_taskmgmt_id. This applies to 2.6.34-rc1.
