Subject: [patch] gpu: ion: dereferencing an ERR_PTR
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 14:20:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140122142003.GA9681@elgon.mountain> (raw)

We dereference "heap->task" before checking if it's an ERR_PTR.

Fixes: ea313b5f88ed ('gpu: ion: Also shrink memory cached in the deferred free list')
