X-Git-Tag: v3.13-rc4~4^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://pileus.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3eae49ca8954f958b2001ab5643ef302cb7b67c7;p=~andy%2Flinux x86/UV: Fix NULL pointer dereference in uv_flush_tlb_others() if the 'nobau' boot option is used The SGI UV tlb shootdown code panics the system with a NULL pointer deference if 'nobau' is specified on the boot commandline. uv_flush_tlb_other() gets called for every flush, whether the BAU is disabled or not. It should not be keeping the s_enters statistic while the BAU is disabled. The panic occurs because during initialization init_per_cpu_tunables() does not set the bcp->statp pointer if 'nobau' was specified.
