-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Chris Wilson upstream commit: 98787c057fdefdce6230ff46f2c1105835005a4c I've hit the occasional oops inside i915_wait_ring() with an indication of a NULL derefence of dev->primary->master. Adding a NULL check is consistent with the other potential users of dev->primary->master.
