4 Subject: [PATCH] i386: avoid null pointer dereference
8 A null pointer dereference issue was reported by Mr Ling Liu, CC'd here. It
9 occurs while doing I/O port write operations via hmp interface. In that,
10 'current_cpu' remains null as it is not called from cpu_exec loop, which
11 results in the said issue.
13 Below is a proposed (tested)patch to fix this issue; Does it look okay?

19 Subject: [PATCH] i386: avoid null pointer dereference
21 When I/O port write operation is called from hmp interface,
22 'current_cpu' remains null, as it is not called from cpu_exec()
23 loop. This leads to a null pointer dereference in vapic_write
24 routine. Add check to avoid it.
