Subject: [PATCH] Prevent oops in nfs_sb_init
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 11:17:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040323101740.GE24978@suse.de> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 273 bytes --]

nfs_sb_init will crash when the fsinfo call fails, because
it tries to iput() an uninitialized pointer. The attached patch
should fix this.
