[PATCH v2] dmatest: Fix NULL pointer dereference on ioat

From: Jon Mason
Date: Sun Nov 11 2012 - 18:03:12 EST


device_control is an optional and not implemented in all DMA drivers.
Any calls to these will result in a NULL pointer dereference. dmatest
makes two of these calls when completing the kernel thread and removing
the module. These are corrected by calling the dmaengine_device_control
wrapper and checking for a non-existant device_control function pointer
there.
