Subject: [PATCH-V2] [fs/9p] Fix NULL point deref in v9fs_dir_release
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:08:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282529312-11861-1-git-send-email-jvrao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

changes from v1:
Now checking fid instead of filp.

There are situations in VFS where we endup calling v9fs_dir_release() before
even we instantiate the fid in filp. Hence the check.
