Subject: [PATCH] ide-cd: prevent null pointer deref via cdrom_newpc_intr
From: Rainer Weikusat <rweikusat@...gmbh.com>
With 2.6.30, the error handling code in cdrom_newpc_intr was changed
to deal with partial request failures by normally completing the 'good'
parts of a request and only 'error' the last (and presumably,
incompletely transferred) bio associated with a particular
request. This doesn't work for requests which don't have bios
associated with them ('GPCMD_READ_DISC_INFO'), because the first call
to ide_end_rq, done via ide_complete_rq in order to do the
partial completion part, returns with a code of zero for all non-bio
requests, causing the drive->hwif->rq pointer to be set to NULL. Upon
calling ide_complete_rq a second time, it is attempted to de-reference
this null pointer, resulting in a kernel crash.

This is fixed in the linux-ide tree since at about 2009/06/10 [Bug
13399, also happens w/ TSSTcorpDVD-ROM SH-D162C], but a patch
against 2.6.30 AFAIK doesn't exist (and I didn't find the
corresponding thread before digging through all of this ...).
