Subject: Correct scsi_host_lookup return value
|
||
|
|
References: bnc#456532

Patch-mainline: not yet

|
In the scsi_generic_msg_handler routine it make a call to scsi_host_lookup and
|
||
|
|
checks the return value for NULL, but the scsi_host_lookup routine can return
|
||
|
|
an error when it fails instead of NULL. So when the scsi_host_lookup fails the
|
||
|
|
scsi_generic_msg_handler crashes the kernel with "BUG: unable to handle kernel
|
||
|
|
NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000aa"
