Subject[ 007/109] powerpc/eeh: Check handle_eeh_events() return value
Date
From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Kleber Sacilotto de Souza <klebers@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 10db8d212864cb6741df7d7fafda5ab6661f6f88 upstream.

Function eeh_event_handler() dereferences the pointer returned by
handle_eeh_events() without checking, causing a crash if NULL was
returned, which is expected in some situations.

This patch fixes this bug by checking for the value returned by
handle_eeh_events() before dereferencing it.
