[PATCH 69/91] SCSI: scsi_dh: check queuedata pointer before proceeding further

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Sun Feb 05 2012 - 17:27:38 EST


2.6.27-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

commit a18a920c70d48a8e4a2b750d8a183b3c1a4be514 upstream.

This patch validates sdev pointer in scsi_dh_activate before proceeding further.

Without this check we might see the panic as below. I have seen this
panic multiple times..
