[PATCH 2/3] staging:rts_pstor:Fix possible panic by NULL pointer dereference

From: wei_wang
Date: Tue Mar 27 2012 - 04:48:35 EST


From: wwang <wei_wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

rtsx_transport.c (rtsx_transfer_sglist_adma_partial):
pointer struct scatterlist *sg, which is mapped in dma_map_sg,
is used as an iterator in later transfer operation. It is corrupted and
passed to dma_unmap_sg, thus causing fatal unmap of some erroneous address.
Fix it by duplicating *sg_ptr for iterating.
