EDAC, mc_sysfs: Fix freeing bus' name
[ Upstream commit 12e2696 ] I get the splat below when modprobing/rmmoding EDAC drivers. It happens because bus->name is invalid after bus_unregister() has run. The Code: section below corresponds to: .loc 1 1108 0 movq 672(%rbx), %rax # mci_1(D)->bus, mci_1(D)->bus .loc 1 1109 0 popq %rbx # .loc 1 1108 0 movq (%rax), %rdi # _7->name, jmp kfree # and %rax has some funky stuff 2030203020312030 which looks a lot like something walked over it. Fix that by saving the name ptr before doing stuff to string it points to. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: ...
