[PATCH 4.14 083/193] ata: fixes kernel crash while tracing ata_eh_link_autopsy event

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

 



4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Rameshwar Prasad Sahu <rsahu@xxxxxxx>

commit f1601113ddc0339a745e702f4fb1ca37d4875e65 upstream.

When tracing ata link error event, the kernel crashes when the disk is
removed due to NULL pointer access by trace_ata_eh_link_autopsy API.
This occurs as the dev is NULL when the disk disappeared. This patch
fixes this crash by calling trace_ata_eh_link_autopsy only if "dev"
is not NULL.

v2 changes:
 Removed direct passing "link" pointer instead of "dev" in trace API.
