All, Sorry for the noise. Please disregard the prior email I sent. Not only did a fix already exist in the 'scsi/for-next', but it was merged into the Linux-next tree a few hours ago. Oh, and I Cc'd wrong people for bonus points. :( -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I've been trying to boot the linux-next tree and my system is getting a kernel panic from an attempt to dereference a NULL pointer inside ata_eh_link_report(). The following commit introduced the bug. commit: cbba5b0ee4c6c2fc8b78a21d0900099d480cf2e9 The bug appears when the local variable cdb_len is initialized with qc->dev->cdb_len without first checking qc->flags for ATA_QCFLAG_FAILED. For whatever reason, qc->dev is NULL when it runs through my motherboard's Marvell 91xx Config ATA device.
