From 14d87e6c399f3942d63dff41447ff08a615d9a6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 10:28:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sparc: Fix cleanup crash in bbc_envctrl_cleanup() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit If kthread_run() fails or never gets to run we'll have NULL or a pointer encoded error in kenvctrld_task, rather than a legitimate task pointer. So this makes bbc_envctrl_cleanup() crash as it passed this bogus pointer into kthread_stop(). Reported-by: BERTRAND Joël Signed-off-by: David S.
