libnvdimm, region: fix flush hint detection crash
commit bc042fdf upstream. In the case where a dimm does not have any associated flush hints the ndrd->flush_wpq array may be uninitialized leading to crashes with the following signature: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 IP: region_visible+0x10f/0x160 [libnvdimm] Call Trace: internal_create_group+0xbe/0x2f0 sysfs_create_groups+0x40/0x80 device_add+0x2d8/0x650 nd_async_device_register+0x12/0x40 [libnvdimm] async_run_entry_fn+0x39/0x170 process_one_work+0x212/0x6c0 ? process_one_work+0x197/0x6c0 worker_thread+0x4e/0x4a0 kthread+0x10c/0x140 ? process_one_work+0x6c0/0x6c0 ? kthread_create_on_node+0x60/0x60 ret_from_fork+0x31/0x40 Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Fixes: f284a4f2 ("libnvdimm: introduce nvdimm_flush() and nvdimm_has_flush()") Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
