In a scenario where there isn't any firmware available, we will have a double kfree of rt2x00dev->spec.channels_info when ieee80211_register_hw returns an error status inside rt2x00lib_probe_hw. The problem is that if ieee80211_register_hw fails, we call rt2x00lib_remove_hw twice: * first inside rt2x00lib_probe_hw upon failure of ieee80211_register_hw * error status is returned to rt2x00lib_probe_dev, which then sees it and calls in this case rt2x00lib_remove_dev that will again run rt2x00lib_remove_hw Prevent this avoiding calling rt2x00lib_remove_hw inside rt2x00lib_probe_hw Problem was detected with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y, that dumps this with no firmware available: rt61pci 0000:00:07.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 wmaster0 (rt61pci): not using net_device_ops yet phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid' phy0: Failed to initialize wep: -2 phy0 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to initialize hw. ============================================================================= BUG kmalloc-128: Object already free ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: Allocated in rt61pci_probe_hw+0x3e5/0x6e0 [rt61pci] age=340 cpu=0 pid=21 INFO: Freed in rt2x00lib_remove_hw+0x59/0x70 [rt2x00lib] age=0 cpu=0 pid=21 INFO: Slab 0xc13ac3e0 objects=23 used=10 fp=0xdd59f6e0 flags=0x400000c3 INFO: Object 0xdd59f6e0 @offset=1760 fp=0xdd59f790 Bytes b4 0xdd59f6d0: 15 00 00 00 b2 8a fb ff 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a ....².ûÿZZZZZZZZ Object 0xdd59f6e0: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Object 0xdd59f6f0: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Object 0xdd59f700: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Object 0xdd59f710: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Object 0xdd59f720: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Object 0xdd59f730: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Object 0xdd59f740: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Object 0xdd59f750: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b a5 kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk¥ Redzone 0xdd59f760: bb bb bb bb »»»» Padding 0xdd59f788: 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a ZZZZZZZZ Pid: 21, comm: stage1 Not tainted 2.6.29.1-desktop-1.1mnb #1 Call Trace: [<c01abbb3>] print_trailer+0xd3/0x120 [<c01abd37>] object_err+0x37/0x50 [<c01acf57>] __slab_free+0xe7/0x2f0 [<c01ad1de>] kfree+0x7e/0xd0 [<e0e4a239>] ?
