Hi Simon,

Good catch!

Previously the peer_gid is an u64 type variable and it will be checked if it is 0.

With this patch, peer_gid is an struct smcd_gid type pointer and the function that
calls smc_smcd_terminate will make sure it is not NULL. So it is safe here.

But there is indeed a problem here, see below.

This if condition should be 'if (peer_gid->gid)'

I will fix this in the next version. Thank you very much.

Wen Gu
