From: Xiubo Li <Li.Xiubo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.4.106-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ commit 2c98e0c1cc6b8e86f1978286c3d4e0769ee9d733 upstream. If 'map->dev' is NULL and there will lead dev_name() to be NULL pointer dereference. So before dev_name(), we need to have check of the map->dev pionter. We also should make sure that the 'name' pointer shouldn't be NULL for debugfs_create_dir(). So here using one default "dummy" debugfs name when the 'name' pointer and 'map->dev' are both NULL.
