[PATCH 3.8 55/91] staging: comedi: pcmuio: fix possible NULL deref on detach

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Thu Jan 02 2014 - 12:23:35 EST


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

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

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2fd2bdfccae61efe18f6b92b6a45fbf936d75b48 upstream.

pcmuio_detach() is called by the comedi core even if pcmuio_attach()
returned an error, so `dev->private` might be `NULL`. Check for that
before dereferencing it.

Also, as pointed out by Dan Carpenter, there is no need to check the
pointer passed to `kfree()` is non-NULL, so remove that check.
