[PATCH] scsi: mptfusion: Fix null pointer dereferences in mptscsih_remove()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The mptscsih_remove() function triggers a kernel oops if the
Scsi_Host pointer (ioc->sh) is NULL, as can be seen in this syslog:

 ioc0: LSI53C1030 B2: Capabilities={Initiator,Target}
 Begin: Waiting for root file system ...
 scsi host2: error handler thread failed to spawn, error = -4
 mptspi: ioc0: WARNING - Unable to register controller with SCSI subsystem

This patch adds the necessary NULL-pointer checks.
Successfully tested on a HP C8000 parisc workstation with buggy SCSI drives.
