This patch puts a NULL check before branching to the address pointed to by eeh_ops->notify_resume in eeh_report_resume(). The callback is used to notify the arch EEH code that a pci device is back online.
For PPC64 presently, only an implementation for pseries platform is available and not for powernv. Hence without this patch EEH recovery on all non-virtualized hosts is causing a kernel panic when CONFIG_PCI_IOV is set. The panic is usually is of the form: EEH: Notify device driver to resume Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] <snip> LR eeh_report_resume+0x218/0x220 Call Trace: eeh_report_resume+0x1f0/0x220 (unreliable) eeh_pe_dev_traverse+0x98/0x170 eeh_handle_normal_event+0x3f4/0x650 eeh_handle_event+0x188/0x380 eeh_event_handler+0x208/0x210 kthread+0x168/0x1b0 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xb4 Cc: Bryant G.
