[PATCH 3.13 016/149] sfc: check for NULL efx->ptp_data in efx_ptp_event

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Mar 20 2014 - 21:27:59 EST


3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Edward Cree <ecree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 8f355e5cee63c2c0c145d8206c4245d0189f47ff ]

If we receive a PTP event from the NIC when we haven't set up PTP state
in the driver, we attempt to read through a NULL pointer efx->ptp_data,
triggering a panic.
