From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> V2: move the check into m_stop() as suggested by Linus, also, most ->show() implementations assume the second parameter 'v' is not NULL, this fixes them too. Anca reported a bug: [15117.080119] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff3 [15117.080152] IP: [<ffffffff811b4989>] vma_stop+0x19/0x40 Linus did the initial analysis, and found this was caused by commit ec6fd8a4355c ("report errors in /proc/*/*map* sanely"), which replaces NULL with various ERR_PTR() cases. This is true, that commit changed the return value of m_start(), which will return an error pointer on failure, but Al forgot to check the error pointer in m_stop() which will be called when m_start() fails. This patches fixes it.
