Subject: [PATCH] sbp2: fix check of return value of hpsb_allocate_and_register_addrspace
Date: Sat, 3 Jun 2006 02:00:33 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tkrat.f195e45ae32b9c02@s5r6.in-berlin.de> (raw)
I added a failure check in patch "sbp2: variable status FIFO address
(fix login timeout)" --- alas for a wrong error value. This is a bug
since Linux 2.6.16. Leads to NULL pointer dereference if the call
failed, and bogus failure handling if call succeeded.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

applies to 2.6.17-rc5
applies to 2.6.16.x after patch ''ohci1394, sbp2: fix "scsi_add_device
failed" with PL-3507 based devices''
