      If cdev_add() fails, there is no justification for subsequently
      calling kobject_put().

      reboot: disable usermodehelper to prevent fs access · b50fa7c8
      Kay Sievers authored
      In case CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH is not set to "", which it
      should be on every system, the kernel forks processes during
      shutdown, which try to access the rootfs, even when the
      binary does not exist. It causes exceptions and long delays in
      the disk driver, which gets read requests at the time it tries
      to shut down the disk.
      
      This patch disables all kernel-forked processes during reboot to
      allow a clean poweroff.

      efivars: prevent oops on unload when efi is not enabled · aabb6e15
      Randy Dunlap authored
      efivars_exit() should check for efi_enabled and not undo
      allocations when efi is not enabled.  Otherwise there is an Oops

      Matt apparently removed such a check in 2004 (with no reason given):
       *  17 May 2004 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
       *   remove check for efi_enabled in exit
      but there have been several changes since then.

      Allow setting of number of raw devices as a module parameter · 0078bff5
      Jan Kara authored
      Allow setting of maximal number of raw devices as a module parameter. This
      requires changing of static array into a vmalloced one (the array is going to
      be too large for kmalloc).
