[PATCH 3.18 06/13] iio: buffer: check if a buffer has been set up when poll is called

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

 



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

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

From: Stefan Windfeldt-Prytz <stefan.windfeldt@xxxxxxxx>

commit 4cd140bda6494543f1c1b0ccceceaa44b676eef6 upstream.

If no iio buffer has been set up and poll is called return 0.
Without this check there will be a null pointer dereference when
calling poll on a iio driver without an iio buffer.
