[PATCH] brcm80211: smac: eliminate a null pointer dereference in dma.c

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

 



Though it's unlikely, di may be null, so we can't dereference
di->dma.dmactrlflags until we've checked it.

Move this de-reference after the check, and adjust the error
message to not require de-referencing di.

This is based upon Julia's original patch:
