From 800df627e2eabaf4a921d342a1d5162c843b7fc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 15:18:29 -0700 Subject: resource: fix the case of null pointer access MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Richard and Daniel reported that UML is broken due to changes to resource traversal functions. Problem is that iomem_resource.child can be null and new code does not consider that possibility. Old code used a for loop and that loop will not even execute if p was null. Revert back to for() loop logic and bail out if p is null. I also moved sibling_only check out of resource_lock. There is no reason to keep it inside the lock. Following is backtrace of the UML crash.
