procfs bug exposed by cdev changes
Quoted 4 lines
fs/inode.c assumes that any ->delete_inode() will call >clear_inode().procfs instance doesn't. It had passed unpunished for a while; cdev >changes combined with ALSA creating character devices in procfs made it fatal.

Patch follows. It had fixed ALSA-triggered memory corruption >here -
what happens in vanilla 2.5.70 is thatclear_inode()is not called when procfs character device inodes are freed. That leaves a freed inode on a cyclic list, with obvious unpleasantness following when we try to >traverse it (e.g. when unregistering a device).Please, apply. Folks who'd seen oopsen/memory corruption after
ALSA access - please, check if that fixes all problems.
modprobe snd-intel8x0
rmmod snd-intel8x0
ALSA works for me,
Thanks
