Hi, the patch bellow fixes a nullptr dereference reported with OpenSUSE12.3. I am not familiar with the area so I have no idea whether this is the right way to go but after applying this patch the problem is not reproducible anymore. If the patch is correct then please mark it for stable (3.7+). Thanks! --- >From a786a701bd6c277329e2b788fea9a69b1c3ced2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 19:04:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm: fix i_mapping and f_mapping initialization in drm_open in error path Starting with fdb40a08 (drm: set dev_mapping before calling drm_open_helper) inode and file mappings are set to old_mapping in the error path. old_mapping can be NULL, however, which is handled by initializing dev_mapping to default inode->i_data. old_mapping is left intact though so the both inode's and filep's mapping will still point to NULL which is unexpected and can it results in crashes later one.
