3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Robertson <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e49be14b8d80e23bb7c53d78c21717a474ade76b upstream. The scrub_ctx csum_list member must be initialized before scrub_free_ctx is called. If the csum_list is not initialized beforehand, the list_empty call in scrub_free_csums will result in a null deref if the allocation fails in the for loop.
