From 5d59aa8f9ce972b472201aed86e904bb75879ff0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Price Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 14:31:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] initramfs: don't free a non-existent initrd Since commit 54c7a8916a88 ("initramfs: free initrd memory if opening /initrd.image fails"), the kernel has unconditionally attempted to free the initrd even if it doesn't exist. In the non-existent case this causes a boot-time splat if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled due to a call to virt_to_phys() with a NULL address. Instead we should check that the initrd actually exists and only attempt to free it if it does.
