oops from my test driver at poll_wait (__pollwait from select.c)

Hello,

I am a newbie in driver development. In one of my test driver, I am getting the oops at poll_wait. The ksymoops o/p is as follows :

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at

2 warnings and 5 errors issued. Results may not be reliable.

Any ideas ??
