3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bruno Prémont <bonbons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 1cde501bb4655e98fb832194beb88ac73be5a05d upstream. When picolcd is switched into bootloader mode (for FW flashing) make sure not to try to dereference NULL-pointers of feature-devices during unplug/unbind. This fixes following BUG: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000298 IP: [<f811f56b>] picolcd_exit_framebuffer+0x1b/0x80 [hid_picolcd] *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] Modules linked in: hid_picolcd syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt fb_sys_fops CPU: 0 PID: 15 Comm: khubd Not tainted 3.11.0-rc7-00002-g50d62d4 #2 EIP: 0060:[<f811f56b>] EFLAGS: 00010292 CPU: 0 EIP is at picolcd_exit_framebuffer+0x1b/0x80 [hid_picolcd] Call Trace: [<f811d1ab>] picolcd_remove+0xcb/0x120 [hid_picolcd] [<c1469b09>] hid_device_remove+0x59/0xc0 [<c13464ca>] __device_release_driver+0x5a/0xb0 [<c134653f>] device_release_driver+0x1f/0x30 [<c134603d>] bus_remove_device+0x9d/0xd0 [<c13439a5>] device_del+0xd5/0x150 [<c14696a4>] hid_destroy_device+0x24/0x60 [<c1474cbb>] usbhid_disconnect+0x1b/0x40 ...
