commit 4f8672201b7e7ed4f5f6c3cf6dcd080648580582 upstream.
The following NULL dereference results from incorrectly assuming that
ndd is valid in this print:
struct nvdimm_drvdata *ndd = to_ndd(&nd_region->mapping[i]);
/*
* Give up if we don't find an instance of a uuid at each
* position (from 0 to nd_region->ndr_mappings - 1), or if we
* find a dimm with two instances of the same uuid.
*/
dev_err(&nd_region->dev, "%s missing label for %pUb\n",
dev_name(ndd->dev), nd_label->uuid);

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.
