The patch titled affs: possible null pointer dereference in affs_rename() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is affs-possible-null-pointer-dereference-in-affs_rename.patch This patch was probably dropped from -mm because it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into its parent patch in the -mm tree. ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: affs: possible null pointer dereference in affs_rename() From: Florin Malita <fmalita@xxxxxxxxx> If affs_bread() fails, the exit path calls mark_buffer_dirty_inode() with a NULL argument.
