[PATCH] skip data conversion in compat_sys_mount when data_page is NULL
OpenVZ Linux kernel team has found a problem with mounting in compat mode. Simple command "mount -t smbfs ..." on Fedora Core 5 distro in 32-bit mode leads to oops: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP: compat_sys_mount+0xd6/0x290 Process mount (pid: 14656, veid=300, threadinfo ffff810034d30000, task ffff810034c86bc0) Call Trace: ia32_sysret+0x0/0xa The problem is that data_page pointer can be NULL, so we should skip data conversion in this case.
