Subject: [PATCH 8/8] dlm: NULL dereference on failure in kmem_cache_create()
Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 16:18:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1337635120-19969-9-git-send-email-teigland@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
We aren't allowed to pass NULL pointers to kmem_cache_destroy() so if
both allocations fail, it leads to a NULL dereference.
