Subject: [PATCH v3 -tip 1/4] tracing: add checks if tr->buffer is NULL in tracing_reset{_online_cpus}
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:02:34 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121219070234.31200.93863.stgit@liselsia> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121219070218.31200.64647.stgit@liselsia>

max_tr->buffer could be NULL in the tracing_reset{_online_cpus}. In this
case, a NULL pointer dereference happens, so we should return immediately
from these functions.
