[PATCH] mm, swap: Potential NULL dereference in get_swap_page_of_type()

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

 



Smatch complains that the NULL checks on "si" aren't consistent.  This
seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is
valid and so "si" can be NULL.

Fixes: ec8acf20afb8 ("swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile")
