Subject: [PATCH] dereference of uninitialized pointer in zatm
Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 19:46:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050902184642.GA5155@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)

Fixing breakage from [NET]: Kill skb->list - original was
	assign vcc
	do a bunch of stuff using ZATM_VCC(vcc)->pool as common subexpression
Now we do
	int pos = ZATM_VCC(vcc)->pool;
	assign vcc
	do a bunch of stuff
even though vcc is not even initialized when we enter that block...
