             ^^^^^

	Checked here.

I obviously just spotted that during the review but another way would be
to use smatch to catch these.  (http://smatch.sf.net)

$ /path/to/smatch_scripts/kchecker drivers/scsi/sg.c
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHECK   drivers/scsi/sg.c
drivers/scsi/sg.c +1236 sg_mmap(7) warn: variable dereferenced before check 'filp'
  CC [M]  drivers/scsi/sg.o
$

You could also get rid of the extra parenthesis.
+	if (!filp || !vma || !sfp)

Btw.  These are _way_ better than when you sent them the first time.
Thanks for doing resending them.
