Hello Fengguang,

Will you try the patch below please...

diff --git a/drivers/staging/dgrp/dgrp_specproc.c
b/drivers/staging/dgrp/dgrp_specproc.c
index c214078..f5845a7 100644
--- a/drivers/staging/dgrp/dgrp_specproc.c
+++ b/drivers/staging/dgrp/dgrp_specproc.c
@@ -231,6 +231,8 @@ static void register_proc_table(struct
dgrp_proc_entry *table,

if (table == NULL)
return;
+ if (root == NULL)
+ return;

for (; table->id; table++) {
/* Can't do anything without a proc name. */
Applies on current linus's head at 406089d01562f1e2bf9f089fd7637009ebaad589.

I am thinking of the case where you dont have any proc entry.

thanks,
