Hi,
I have noticed that in recent kernels (2.6.13 and never) I got an oops
every time I tried to read /proc/ioports after trying to load i82365
pcmcia driver module:
root@alien2:~# modprobe i82365
FATAL: Error inserting i82365
(/lib/modules/2.6.14-rc3/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.ko): No such
device
root@alien2:~# cat /proc/ioports

Segmentation fault
This oops is caused by broken i82365 PCMCIA driver. Someone tried to
remove deprecated check_region() but after the changes the driver
does not release its memory regions correctly.
I've attached patch that fixes that oops. This driver looks really
dirty, and I do not know if it still works.
Cheers,
Igor
