[ Upstream commit 27d2a2fd844ec7da70d19fabb482304fd1e0595b ] bigben_worker() checks report_field to be non-NULL. The check has been added in commit 918aa1ef104d ("HID: bigbenff: prevent null pointer dereference") to prevent a NULL pointer crash. However, the true root cause was a missing check for output reports, patched in commit c7bf714f8755 ("HID: check empty report_list in bigben_probe()"), where the type-confused report list_entry was overlapping with a NULL pointer, which was then causing the crash.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
