Subject: NULL pointer issue in dm-mpath.c
Date: Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:07:53 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <477CFA49.3040001@hp.com> (raw)

While looking at this file, I noticed:

         if (!pgpath->pg->ps.type) {
                 DMWARN("Reinstate path not supported by path selector %s",
                        pgpath->pg->ps.type->name);
                 r = -EINVAL;
                 goto out;
         }

The DMWARN will end up following a NULL pointer (as pgpath->pg->ps.type 
is NULL). I have no idea how to fix this, nor if its really possible to 
hit this error case, nonetheless I thought I'd point this out. (As maybe 
someone out there would know how to correctly patch this.)
