Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2014 23:43:51 +0100 From: Rickard Strandqvist <rickard_strandqvist@...ctrumdigital.se> To: Oleg Drokin <oleg.drokin@...el.com>, Andreas Dilger <andreas.dilger@...el.com> Cc: Rickard Strandqvist <rickard_strandqvist@...ctrumdigital.se>, Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, HPDD-discuss@...ts.01.org, devel@...verdev.osuosl.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] staging: lustre: lustre: include: lustre_update.h: Fix for possible null pointer dereference The NULL check was done to late, and there it was a risk of a possible null pointer dereference. This was partially found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.
