[PATCH] ARM: pl330: fix null pointer dereference in pl330_chan_ctrl()

[Mans Rullgard]

This fixes the thrd->req_running field being accessed before thrd
is checked for null.  The error was introduced in abb959f.

I don't know what's happening with the PL330 driver, but there's patches
around to remove this file and merge it with the DMA engine driver.

As Russell points out, the s5p tree has merged this file with
drivers/dma/pl330.c so this bug is now in that file.  Please rebase the
patch on top of linux-next.

Other than that, yes, that's my fault.

The PL330 merge didn't happen in the 3.3 merge window and I can't see it
in linux-next, so linux 3.3 will ship with the driver still split in
arch/arm/common/pl330.c and drivers/dma/pl330.c .  I think this patch
should be part of linux 3.3 (and you should add "Cc: stable at kernel.org"
so that it's included in the next 3.2 stable release).

Unless somebody thinks otherwise, Mans, can you please submit it to
rmk's patch tracking system?

I rebased your patch based on pl330 merge commit with kukjin kim. And confirmed to working it well. You can check it on below URL.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kgene/linux-samsung.git v3.4-for-vkou
As I know, Kukjin kim will send a pull request to DMA and ARM SoC trees soon.

Sorry, I wasn't talking about my patch but Mans':

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.linaro.devel/9445

It fixes a null pointer dereference in the current kernel and I still
think it should go into 3.3 and in the next 3.2 stable release.  That
will create another conflict in your tree I'm afraid.

Cheers,
Javi
