[PATCH 2/5] x86/amd-iommu: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __detach_device()

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Fri Jan 22 2010 - 12:19:30 EST


In the __detach_device function the reference count for a
device-domain binding may become zero. This results in the
device being removed from the domain and dev_data->domain
will be NULL. This is bad because this pointer is
dereferenced when trying to unlock the domain->lock. This
patch fixes the issue by keeping the domain in a seperate
variable.
