Subject: [PATCH] ia64: Add null pointer check for task in default_handler
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2020 20:11:46 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200618001157.26035-1-gaurav1086@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200611150221.15665-1-gaurav1086@gmail.com>

If the task is NULL and the if condition is true 
then task->pid would cause null pointer dereference. 
Fix this by adding additional null check.
