[PATCH] staging: lustre: lustre: mdc: lproc_mdc.c: Fix for potential NULL pointer dereference

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

 



In mdc_kuc_write(), OBD_ALLOC(lh, len) may leave 'lh' to NULL as kmalloc
may fail to allocate memory. This fix adds a check to avoid, dereferencing
a NULL pointer.
