Subject: [PATCH] fix dvb-net Oops
Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 17:03:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041213160309.GA12700@linuxtv.org> (raw)

Hi,

emard<at>softhome!net discovered an embarrasing bug in
dvb_net.c where the NET_REMOVE_IF ioctl will cause an
Oops when called with an invalid interface number.

The patch applies on top of the other dvb patches in linux-2.6.10-rc3-mm1
and should go into 2.6.10.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Stezenbach <js@linuxtv.org>
