Subject: [PATCH] net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: fix  NULL pointer dereference in switch mode
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2017 14:04:04 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170131200404.29150-1-grygorii.strashko@ti.com> (raw)

In switch mode on struct cpsw_slave->ndev field will be initialized with
proper value only for the one cpsw slave port, as result
cpsw_get_usage_count() will generate "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
dereference" exception when first ethernet interface is opening
cpsw_ndo_open(). This issue causes boot regression on AM335x EVM and
reproducible on am57xx-evm (switch mode).
Fix it by adding additional check for !cpsw->slaves[i].ndev in
cpsw_get_usage_count().

fixes: 03fd01ad0eea ("net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: don't duplicate ndev_running")
