Subject: [PATCH -mm] sysfs: Fix oops in sysfs_drop_dentry on x86_64
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:36:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200706131536.18882.rjw@sisk.pl> (raw)

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

Fix oops on x86_64 caused by the dereference of dir in sysfs_drop_dentry() made
before checking if dir is not NULL
(cf. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118151626704924&w=2).
