[PATCH] resource: Fix the case of null pointer access
From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Tue Aug 12 2014 - 10:47:44 EST
Richard and Daniel reported that UML is broken due to changes to resource
traversal functions. Problem is that iomem_resource.child can be null
and new code does not consider that possibility. Old code used a for loop
and that loop will not even execute if p was null.
Revert back to for() loop logic and bail out if p is null.
I also moved sibling_only check out of resource_lock. There is no
reason to keep it inside the lock.
Following is backtrace of the UML crash.
