The patch titled Fix a potential NULL pointer deref in the aic7xxx, ahc_print_register() function has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fix-a-potential-null-pointer-deref-in-the-aic7xxx-ahc_print_register-function.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Fix a potential NULL pointer deref in the aic7xxx, ahc_print_register() function From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> The Coverity checker noticed that we have a potential NULL pointer deref in drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_core.c::ahc_print_register(). This patch handles it by adding the same test against NULL that is used elsewhere in the same function.
