From: Darren Hart <dvhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. ------------------- commit b6070a8d9853eda010a549fa9a09eb8d7269b929 upstream. If fixup_pi_state_owner() faults, pi_mutex may be NULL. Test for pi_mutex != NULL before testing the owner against current and possibly unlocking it.
