Subject: [PATCH v2] MIPS: Fix incorrect NULL check in local_flush_tlb_page()
Date: Sat, 5 Jul 2014 20:26:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1404584812-12377-1-git-send-email-emilgoode@gmail.com> (raw)
We check that the struct vm_area_struct pointer vma is NULL and then
dereference it a few lines below. The intent must have been to make sure
that vma is not NULL and then to check the value from cpu_context() for
the condition to be true.
