The patch titled Avoid possible NULL pointer deref in 3c359 driver has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was avoid-possible-null-pointer-deref-in-3c359-driver.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Avoid possible NULL pointer deref in 3c359 driver From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> In xl_freemem(), if dev_if is NULL, the line struct xl_private *xl_priv =(struct xl_private *)dev->priv; will cause a NULL pointer dereference. (akpm: don't try to fix it: just delete the pointless test-for-null) Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) diff -puN drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c~avoid-possible-null-pointer-deref-in-3c359-driver drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c --- a/drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c~avoid-possible-null-pointer-deref-in-3c359-driver +++ a/drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c @@ -1045,11 +1045,6 @@ static irqreturn_t xl_interrupt(int irq, u8 __iomem * xl_mmio = xl_priv->xl_mmio ; u16 intstatus, macstatus ; - if (!dev) { - printk(KERN_WARNING "Device structure dead, aaahhhh !\n") ; - return IRQ_NONE; - } - intstatus = readw(xl_mmio + MMIO_INTSTATUS) ; if (!(intstatus & 1)) /* We didn't generate the interrupt */ _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx are git-alsa.patch fix-use-after-free--double-free-bug-in-amd_create_gatt_pages--amd_free_gatt_pages.patch git-cifs.patch git-powerpc.patch mga_dma-return-err-not-just-zero-from-mga_do_cleanup_dma.patch git-dvb.patch git-gfs2-nmw.patch git-kbuild.patch git-mtd.patch git-ubi.patch git-net.patch git-backlight.patch git-nfs.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-fs-ntfs.patch git-scsi-misc.patch git-xfs.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-include-linux-memory_hotplugh.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-mm.patch mm-no-need-to-cast-vmalloc-return-value-in-zone_wait_table_init.patch uml-remove-unneeded-void-cast.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-drivers-char.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-drivers-w1.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-fs.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-fs-ecryptfs.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-kernel.patch avoid-a-small-unlikely-memory-leak-in-proc_read_escd.patch docs-ramdisk-initrd-initramfs-corrections.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-drivers-spi.patch fix-possible-null-deref-on-low-memory-condition-in-capidrvcsend_message.patch isdn-guard-against-a-potential-null-pointer-dereference-in-old_capi_manufacturer.patch fbdev-update-documentation-fb-00-index.patch floppy-do-a-very-minimal-style-cleanup-of-the-floppy-driver.patch floppy-remove-dead-commented-out-code-from-floppy-driver.patch floppy-remove-register-keyword-use-from-floppy-driver.patch clean-up-duplicate-includes-in-documentation.patch add-a-missing-00-index-file-for-documentation-vm.patch add-a-missing-00-index-file-for-documentation-vm-fix.patch add-a-00-index-file-to-documentation-mips.patch add-a-00-index-file-to-documentation-sysctl.patch add-a-00-index-file-to-documentation-telephony.patch mxser-fix-compiler-warning-when-building-withoug-config_pci.patch mxser-fix-compiler-warning-when-building-withoug-config_pci-fix.patch cyclades-avoid-label-defined-but-not-used-warning.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
