[02/12] fix oops on rmmod capidrv

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Apr 29 2008 - 14:51:39 EST


2.6.24-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------

From: Karsten Keil <kkeil@xxxxxxx>

commit eb36f4fc019835cecf0788907f6cab774508087b upstream.

Fix overwriting the stack with the version string
(it is currently 10 bytes + zero) when unloading the
capidrv module. Safeguard against overwriting it
should the version string grow in the future.

Should fix Kernel Bug Tracker Bug 9696.
