commit432798195bupstream. I was trying to solve a double free but I introduced a more serious NULL dereference bug. The problem is that if there is an IRQ which triggers immediately, then we need "info->uio_dev" but it's not set yet. This patch puts the original initialization back to how it was and just sets info->uio_dev to NULL on the error path so it should solve both the Oops and the double free.

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.
