From: Yunfeng Ye <yeyunfeng@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: reiserfs: prevent NULL pointer dereference in reiserfs_insert_item() The variable inode may be NULL in reiserfs_insert_item(), but there is no check before accessing the member of inode. Fix this by adding NULL pointer check before calling reiserfs_debug().
