Fix a kernel panic resulting from data access of a NULL pointer during device close. The pending_scrq routine is meant to determine whether there is a valid sub-CRQ message awaiting processing. When the device is closing, however, there is a possibility that NULL messages can be processed because pending_scrq will always return 1 even if there no valid message in the queue. It's not clear what this closing state check was originally meant to accomplish, so just remove it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
