[PATCH] blk-mq: fix NULL dereference on q->elevator in blk_mq_elv_switch_none

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After grabbing q->sysfs_lock, q->elevator may become NULL because of
elevator switch.

Fix the NULL dereference on q->elevator by checking it with lock.
