3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ilija Hadzic <ihadzic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a8ec3a662921220fc058ed6f7f3674697876d218 upstream. If first drm_open fails, the error-handling path will incorrectly restore inode's mapping to NULL. This can cause the crash later on. Fix by separately storing away mapping pointers that drm_open can touch and restore each from its own respective variable if the call fails. Fixes: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807850 (thanks to Michal Hocko for investigating investigating and finding the root cause of the bug) Reference: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-March/036564.html v2: Use one variable to store file and inode mapping since they are the same at the function entry. Fix spelling mistakes in commit message. v3: Add reference to the original bug report.
