Subject: [PATCH] nfs: fix null checking in nfs_get_option_str()
Date: Fri,  4 Jan 2013 03:22:57 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357287777-12052-1-git-send-email-xi.wang@gmail.com> (raw)

The following null pointer check is broken.

	*option = match_strdup(args);
	return !option;

The pointer `option' must be non-null, and thus `!option' is always false.
Use `!*option' instead.

The bug was introduced in commit c5cb09b6f8 ("Cleanup: Factor out some
cut-and-paste code.").
