Subject: [PATCH 4.2 078/110] xen-blkfront: check for null drvdata in blkback_changed (XenbusStateClosing)
4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Cathy Avery <cathy.avery@...cle.com>
commit a54c8f0f2d7df525ff997e2afe71866a1a013064 upstream.
xen-blkfront will crash if the check to talk_to_blkback()
in blkback_changed()(XenbusStateInitWait) returns an error.
The driver data is freed and info is set to NULL. Later during
the close process via talk_to_blkback's call to xenbus_dev_fatal()
the null pointer is passed to and dereference in blkfront_closing.
