From: Greg KH on 19 Feb 2010 12:20 2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron(a)beardog.cce.hp.com> commit 531c2dc70d339c5dfa8c3eb628c3459dc6f3a075 upstream. It is possible (and expected) for there to be holes in the h->drv[] array, that is, some elements may be NULL pointers. cciss_seq_show needs to be made aware of this possibility to avoid an Oops. To reproduce the Oops which this fixes: 1) Create two "arrays" in the Array Configuratino Utility and several logical drives on each array. 2) cat /proc/driver/cciss/cciss* in an infinite loop 3) delete some of the logical drives in the first "array."
