From bcfef8c3681fa59b653871682956a8fdf5c27c5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 22:42:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Avoid possible NULL pointer deref in 3c359 driver In xl_freemem(), if dev_if is NULL, the line struct xl_private *xl_priv =(struct xl_private *)dev->priv; will cause a NULL pointer dereference. (akpm: don't try to fix it: just delete the pointless test-for-null) Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik --- drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c b/drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c index 88d03c085d54..7224d368b2a7 100644 --- a/drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c +++ b/drivers/net/tokenring/3c359.c @@ -1045,11 +1045,6 @@ static irqreturn_t xl_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id) u8 __iomem * xl_mmio = xl_priv->xl_mmio ; u16 intstatus, macstatus ; - if (!dev) { - printk(KERN_WARNING "Device structure dead, aaahhhh !\n") ; - return IRQ_NONE; - } - intstatus = readw(xl_mmio + MMIO_INTSTATUS) ; if (!(intstatus & 1)) /* We didn't generate the interrupt */
