commit: 1d1171ffda585c1cab7bd7cf4bd8f8fd5923fb4a From: Ian Abbott <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 16:25:19 +0100 Subject: staging: comedi: amplc_pc263: fix possible NULL deref during detach
`pc263_detach()` is called by the comedi core to clean up if either `pc263_attach()` or `pc263_attach_pci()` returns an error. It sets `thisboard` to the return value of `comedi_board(dev)` and assumes it is non-null. This is a valid assumption if `pc263_attach()` fails, but not if `pc263_attach_pci()` fails, leading to a possible NULL pointer dereference. Check `thisboard` at the top of `pc263_detach()` and return early if it is `NULL`. This is okay because no other resources need cleaning up in this case.
