[PATCH] [139/223] libata: fix NULL sdev dereference race in atapi_qc_complete()

[Andi Kleen]

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2a5f07b5ec098edc69e05fdd2f35d3fbb1235723 upstream.

SCSI commands may be issued between __scsi_add_device() and dev->sdev
assignment, so it's unsafe for ata_qc_complete() to dereference
dev->sdev->locked without checking whether it's NULL or not.  Fix it.
