| |
as i reported earlier in this month (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/12/141) MTD partition names are screwed up in 2.6.29-rcX.
commit 176bf2e0f10ecf1d20a97db3bd5bb2e6ba0b5668 deals with a memory leak and frees the pointer array of mtd_partition after the call to add_mtd_partitions(). the problem is that mtd_table[x]->name still points to the freed memory.
