Subject: [PATCH 2/4] drbd: Fix variable dereference before check
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 18:23:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317232318.18923-3-ethantidmore06@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317232318.18923-1-ethantidmore06@gmail.com>
The struct is 'req' is checked for NULL after resource was assigned from
a member from it.
Check 'req' for NULL before assigning resource.
Detected by Smatch:
drivers/block/drbd/drbd_req.c:1996 drbd_unplug() warn:
variable dereferenced before check 'req' (see line 1993)
Fixes: 71d075200b462 ("drbd: rework request processing for DRBD 9 multi-peer IO")
