[PATCH] HID: wacom: check for wacom->shared before following the pointer

From: Benjamin Tissoires
Date: Thu Mar 05 2015 - 17:36:58 EST


486b908 (HID: wacom: do not send pen events before touch is up/forced out)
introduces a kernel oops when plugging a tablet without touch.

wacom->shared is null for these devices so this leads to a null pointer
exception.

Change the condition to make it clear that what we need is wacom->shared
not NULL.

Hi Jiri,

this one should be pulled in 4.0. Or we will have surprised users :)

Cheers,
Benjamin
