[PATCH] [SCSI] libiscsi: fix iscsi pool error path

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

 



Memory freeing in iscsi_pool_free() looks wrong to me. Either q->pool
can be NULL and this should be tested before dereferencing it, or it
can't be NULL and it shouldn't be tested at all. As far as I can see,
the only case where q->pool is NULL is on early error in
iscsi_pool_init(). One possible way to fix the bug is thus to not
call iscsi_pool_free() in this case (nothing needs to be freed anyway)
and then we can get rid of the q->pool check.

Another possible fix is to move the q->pool check one line up. Both
are fine with me.
