X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=18e35e081e1bb129c6dc5a5874c260a613cd13d7;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git staging: vt6656: rxtx.c [BUG] s_vGetFreeContext dead lock on null apTD. There seems to be race condition that the device is ndo_start_xmit at a point where the device is closing and apTD is NULL resulting in dead lock. Add a NULL check to apTD and return NULL to calling functions. This is more likely on 64 bit systems.
