Subject: ocfs2: inconsequent NULL checking
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 20:14:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070918181404.GA16401@stusta.de> (raw)

The Coverity checker spotted the following inconsequent NULL checking in 
fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c:

<--  snip  -->

...
int ocfs2_meta_lock_atime(struct inode *inode,
                          struct vfsmount *vfsmnt,
                          int *level)
{
...
                if (ocfs2_should_update_atime(inode, vfsmnt))
                        ocfs2_update_inode_atime(inode, bh);
                if (bh)
                        brelse(bh);
...

<--  snip  -->

Since commit c11e9fafb398411af7558fca913c2fa4a10b1f48
ocfs2_update_inode_atime() contains an unconditional
dereference of "bh".
