Subject: [PATCH] Fix NULL pointer dereference on r8169 load
Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 10:13:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081012081352.GA29794@vana.vc.cvut.cz> (raw)
From: Petr Vandrovec <petr@vandrovec.name>
mmio_addr in r8169 needs to be initialized before use
Maybe that all tp-> initialization should be moved before rtl_init_mac_address call,
but this is enough to get rid of crash in rtl_rar_set due to mmio_addr being uninitialized.
