If resource allocation and registration fail for a muxed tty device (e.g. if there are no more minor numbers) the driver should not try to deregister the never-registered tty. Fix up the error handling to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer when attempting to remove the character device: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000064 [...] RIP: 0010:cdev_del+0x4/0x20 [...] Call Trace: tty_unregister_device+0x34/0x50 hso_probe+0x1d1/0x57e [hso] Fixes: 72dc1c096c70 ("HSO: add option hso driver") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.27 Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org> --- drivers/net/usb/hso.c | 12 +++++------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
