From: Steve Kemp on
arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c contains the following code:

--
preempt_disable();
cpu_id = smp_processor_id();
mmc = &mm->context[cpu_id];
cpu_mask = mm->cpu_vm_mask;
cpu_clear(cpu_id, cpu_mask);

#iffdef DEBUG_SMP
if (!mm)
BUG();
#endif
--

mm might be NULL, but this would only be detected after it
has been dereferenced, and only then if DEBUG_SMP is defined.

I'd suggest changing to read something like this:

--
if ( !mm )
BUG();

preempt_disable();
--
