Subject: portman2x4.c: fix boot hang From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
when booting an allyesconfig bzImage kernel the bootup hangs in the portman2x4 driver (on a box that does not have this hardware), at: Pid: 1, comm: swapper EIP: 0060:[<c02f763c>] CPU: 0 EIP is at parport_pc_read_status+0x4/0x8 EFLAGS: 00000202 Not tainted (2.6.23-rc9 #904) EAX: f7e57a7f EBX: 00000010 ECX: c2b808c0 EDX: 00000379 ESI: f7cb8230 EDI: 00000010 EBP: f7cb8230 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 0000 CR0: 8005003b CR2: fff9c000 CR3: 007ec000 CR4: 00000690 DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 DR6: ffff0ff0 DR7: 00000400 [<c04613de>] portman_flush_input+0xde/0x12c [<c0461a24>] snd_portman_probe+0x368/0x484 [<c02fbb8c>] __device_attach+0x0/0x8 [<c02fce68>] platform_drv_probe+0xc/0x10 [<c02fba6c>] driver_probe_device+0x74/0x194 [<c0587174>] klist_next+0x38/0x70 [<c02fbb8c>] __device_attach+0x0/0x8 [<c02faea1>] bus_for_each_drv+0x35/0x68 [<c02fbc22>] device_attach+0x72/0x78 the reason is due to an inconsistent error return code of 1 or 2, while snd_portman_probe only realizes negative error codes. with this fixed the probe fails as it should and the bootup continues.
