inside b43_rfkill_exit() we call rfkill_unregister() which puts the last reference and frees the rfkill struct. Then just 3 lines later the code explicitly calls rfkill_free() on the struct we already freed. This showed up as slub corruption (what should have been 6b was showing up as 6a) since the rfkill_free had dec'ed the are that should have been the use counter. stop using the already freed rfkill struct. ============================================================================= BUG kmalloc-1024 (Not tainted): Poison overwritten ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: 0xf40b89e8-0xf40b89e8.
