From efdc64f0c792ea744bcc9203f35b908e66d42f41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Chen Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:35:11 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] genirq: check chip->ack before calling Impact: fix theoretical NULL dereference The generic irq layer doesn't know whether irq_chip has ack routine on some architectures or not. Upon that, before calling chip->ack, we should check that it's not NULL.
