2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Maciej Sosnowski commit c3d4f44f50b65b0b0290e357f8739cfb3f4bcaca upstream If the ioatdma driver is loaded but not used it does not allocate descriptors. Before it frees channel resources it should first be sure that they have been previously allocated.
