Subject: [PATCH 1/1] NET: irda, fix potential null dereference
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2010 10:11:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1263114674-10433-1-git-send-email-jslaby@suse.cz> (raw)

Stanse found a potential null dereference in ircomm_tty_close
and ircomm_tty_hangup. There is a check for tty being NULL,
but it is dereferenced earlier. Move the dereference after
the check.
