Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] check for bs->drv in bdrv_flush
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 19:39:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090328183916.GA25875@lst.de> (raw)

All the bdrv_ helpers should check for bs->drv being zero as that means
there is no backend image open.  bdrv_flush fails to perform that check
and can thus cause NULL pointer dereferences.

Found using qemu-io.
