From b5325a02aa84c794cf520d6d68cae4b150988a32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 15:40:13 -0700 Subject: ttyprintk: Fix NULL pointer deref by setting tty_port ops after initializing port tty_port_init() zeroes out the tty port, which means that we have to set the ops pointer /after/, not before this call. Otherwise, tty_port_open will crash when it tries to deref ops, which is now a NULL pointer. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
