From 18e35e081e1bb129c6dc5a5874c260a613cd13d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Malcolm Priestley Date: Sun, 22 Sep 2013 20:15:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6656: rxtx.c [BUG] s_vGetFreeContext dead lock on null apTD. There seems to be race condition that the device is ndo_start_xmit at a point where the device is closing and apTD is NULL resulting in dead lock. Add a NULL check to apTD and return NULL to calling functions. This is more likely on 64 bit systems.
