SCp is 3rd argument of process_script_interrupt() (calls in drivers/scsi/53c700.c:1346 where SCp != NULL and drivers/scsi/53c700.c:1672 where this condition is not guaranteed). Before call process_script_interrupt() in drivers/scsi/53c700.c:1672 there is SCp = hostdata->cmd, wherein (type casts omitted) hostdata = host->hostdata[0], host = dev_id, dev_id - 2nd argument of NCR_700_intr(). NCR_700_intr() is used when calling request_irq() -> request_threaded_irq() as the 2nd argument. Last argument of call request_irq(..., NCR_700_intr, ... host) is host. host = NCR_700_detect(), host->hostdata[0] = hostdata, hostdata->cmd = NULL. So, there is possible NULL pointer dereference, so add NULL check for SCp in process_script_interrupt() to avoid it. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
