From 604a1eb0eb67c38e29f9efd8d20668904f93b50c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 15:49:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Staging: hv: vmbus: Don't free the channel when the channel is closed When the driver unloads, the device must persist. A channel represents the device and so we should not free the channel when the channel is closed as part of the driver unloading. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
