The patch titled
Subject: loopdev: remove an user triggerable oops
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
loopdev-remove-an-user-triggerable-oops.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Guo Chao <yan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: loopdev: remove an user triggerable oops
When loopdev is built as module and we pass an invalid parameter,
loop_init() will return directly without deregister misc device, which
will cause an oops when insert loop module next time because we left some
garbage in the misc device list.
Test case:
sudo modprobe loop max_part=1024
(failed due to invalid parameter)
sudo modprobe loop
(oops)
Clean up nicely to avoid such oops.
