Subject: initializing chip->wq in cfi_cmdset_0002.c
Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2006 11:18:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <001101c69d3a$b12f2a00$6534800a@RudiDell> (raw)
I'm using cfi_cmdset_0002.c to access a flash chip and I ran into an oops
from trying to dereference a null pointer. I found a fix for it, but I feel
like there must be something I don't understand. Seems like other folks
would have run into this as well.
The crash comes with the call to wake_up(&chip->wq) on the last line of
put_chip. I can't see anywhere that this data structure is initialized. I
looked at some of the other cfi_cmdset* files and decided that
diff --git a/drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.c
b/drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.c

was a good place to initialize. It fixes the oops for me. Can someone
confirm that this makes sense?
Thanks much.
