Subject: [PATCH] staging: lustre: lustre: obdclass: obd_mount.c: Fix NULL dereference
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 17:52:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1422291142-4451-1-git-send-email-gmate.amit@gmail.com> (raw)

OBD_ALLOC_PTR(uuid) invokes kmalloc, which may return NULL. This fix
adds a check before dereferencing such pointer.
