[PATCH 4/8] ubifs: do not ubifs_inode() on potentially NULL pointer

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

 



new_inode() may return NULL, so only derefence the return inode when
non NULL. This is merely a cleanup as calling ubifs_inode() on a NULL
pointer doesn't do any harm, only using the return value would.
