[PATCH] NFS: Fix a potential NULL dereference in nfs_get_client()

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

 



None of the callers are expecting NULL returns from nfs_get_client() so
this code will lead to an Oops.  It's better to return an error
pointer.  I expect that this is dead code so hopefully no one is
affected.
