Subject: scsi/gdth: fix crash in gdth_timeout if no gdth controllers found
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c596cc46ba1c5769866efe586daff3422bc31afe;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

scsi/gdth: fix crash in gdth_timeout if no gdth controllers found

If the gdth module is loaded (or compiled in), the gdth_timeout function
gets started even if no actual gdth controllers are found b the probing.

That ends up not only being unnecessary, but also causes a crash due to
the function blindly just trying to pick the first entry off the
"gdth_instances" list, and accessing it - which obviously doesn't work
if the list is empty!

Noticed by Ingo Molnar.
