Subject: [PATCH] spufs: Fix oops when spufs module is not loaded
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b41305a39a6966d8e8b1449d6b7c194923bfb451;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] spufs: Fix oops when spufs module is not loaded

try_module_get returns true when NULL arguments, so
we first need to check if there is a module loaded before
getting the reference count.
