[patch 2/2] mvsas: dereferencing before checking

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

 



If "mvi_dev" is NULL then we have to test it at the start of the function
and return if it is null.  In the original code, we dereferenced "mvi_dev"
before the check to assign "mvi" and then we dereferenced "mvi" to take
the spin lock.
