[PATCH] Fix for module initialization failure

From: Rusty Russell
Date: Wed Oct 29 2003 - 18:36:47 EST


Need a module_arch_cleanup() after a successful module_finalize()
call: it was missing in the case where module->init() fails. Since
module_arch_cleanup() is a noop on x86, I didn't spot it earlier.

Thanks to Paul Mackerras for prodding me about this again...

Rusty.

Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Booted on 2.6.0-test5-bk1

D: Bug reported by Paul Mackerras: if a module parameter fails, we didn't
D: call module_arch_cleanup().
