The patch titled reiserfs: possible null pointer dereference during resize has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was reiserfs-possible-null-pointer-dereference-during-resize.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: reiserfs: possible null pointer dereference during resize From: Dmitriy Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxx> sb_read may return NULL, let's explicitly check it. If so free new bitmap blocks array, after this we may safely exit as it done above during bitmap allocation.
