[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: don't dereference dma_buf->iocbq before null check

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

dma_buf->iocbq is being dereferenced immediately before it is
being null checked, so we have a potential null pointer dereference
bug.  Fix this by only dereferencing it only once we have passed
a null check on the pointer.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1411652 ("Dereference before null check")
