Vasilis Liaskovitis 57cd3a0966 xen/blkfront: avoid NULL blkfront_info dereference on device removal
commit f92898e7f3 upstream.

If a block device is hot-added when we are out of grants,
gnttab_grant_foreign_access fails with -ENOSPC (log message "28
granting access to ring page") in this code path:

  talk_to_blkback ->
	setup_blkring ->
		xenbus_grant_ring ->
			gnttab_grant_foreign_access

and the failing path in talk_to_blkback sets the driver_data to NULL:

 destroy_blkring:
        blkif_free(info, 0);

        mutex_lock(&blkfront_mutex);
        free_info(info);
        mutex_unlock(&blkfront_mutex);

        dev_set_drvdata(&dev->dev, NULL);

This results in a NULL pointer BUG when blkfront_remove and blkif_free
try to access the failing device's NULL struct blkfront_info.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
