Subject: [PATCH 2/7] tracing/filters: fix NULL pointer dereference
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2009 15:52:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49E04C43.1050504@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <49E04C22.4040608@cn.fujitsu.com>

Try this, and you'll see NULL pointer dereference bug:
  # echo -n 'parent_comm ==' > sched/sched_process_fork/filter

Because we passed NULL ptr to simple_strtoull().
