[PATCH] CIFS: check if pages is null rather than bv for a failed allocation

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

 



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

pages is being allocated however a null check on bv is being used
to see if the allocation failed. Fix this by checking if pages is
null.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1432974 ("Logically dead code")
