Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:34:35 +0200 From: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@...gutronix.de> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Luwei Zhou <b45643@...escale.com> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@...gutronix.de> Subject: [PATCH] net: fec: ptp: fix NULL pointer dereference if ptp_clock is not set Since commit 278d24047891 (net: fec: ptp: Enable PPS output based on ptp clock) fec_enet_interrupt calls fec_ptp_check_pps_event unconditionally, which calls into ptp_clock_event. If fep->ptp_clock is NULL, ptp_clock_event tries to dereference the NULL pointer. Since on i.MX53 fep->bufdesc_ex is not set, fec_ptp_init is never called, and fep->ptp_clock is NULL, which reliably causes a kernel panic. This patch adds a check for fep->ptp_clock == NULL in fec_enet_interrupt.
