[SPARC32] NULL pointer derefference

[Mark Fortescue]

Hi All,

Unfortunatly Sparc32 sun4c low level memory management apears to be 
incompatible with commit b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba
mm: variable length argument support.

For some reason, this commit corrupts the memory used by the low level 
context/pte handling ring buffers in arch/sparc/mm/sun4c (in 
add_ring_ordered, head->next becomes set to a NULL pointer).

I had a quick look at http://www.linux-mm.org to see if there were any 
diagrams that show what is going on in the memory management systems, to 
see if there was something that I could use to help me work out what is 
going on, but I could not see any.

Can any one help?

Regards
	Mark Fortescue.
