Subject: [PATCH] b43: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in DMA code
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:58:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200806121158.57287.mb@bu3sch.de> (raw)

This fixes a possible NULL pointer dereference in an error path of the
DMA allocation error checking code. This is also necessary for a future
DMA API change that is on its way into the mainline kernel that adds
an additional dev parameter to dma_mapping_error().

This patch moves the whole struct b43_dmaring struct initialization
right before any DMA allocation operation.

John, this is a bugfix for 2.6.26
