commit7379e6baedupstream. The interrupt handler `pci230_interrupt()` causes a null pointer dereference for a PCI260 card. There is no analog output subdevice for a PCI260. The `dev->write_subdev` subdevice pointer and therefore the `s_ao` subdevice pointer variable will be `NULL` for a PCI260. The following call near the end of the interrupt handler results in the null pointer dereference for a PCI260: comedi_handle_events(dev, s_ao); Fix it by only calling the above function if `s_ao` is valid. Note that the other uses of `s_ao` in the calls `pci230_handle_ao_nofifo(dev, s_ao);` and `pci230_handle_ao_fifo(dev, s_ao);` will never be reached for a PCI260, so they are safe.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
