[PATCH] scsi: aic7xxx: aic79xx: fix potential null pointer dereference on ahd

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

 



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

If AHD_DEBUG is enabled and ahd_platform_alloc fails then ahd is set
to null and the debug printk dereferences ahd when passing it to
ahd_name.  Fix this by moving the debug printk to before the call
to ahd_platform_alloc where ahd is not null at that point.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#100296 ("Explicit null dereference")
