Subject: [PATCH v2] mdadm: monitor: fix nullptr dereference when get_md_name() returns NULL
Date: Tue, 19 May 2015 02:33:21 +0300	[thread overview]

Subject: [PATCH] mdadm: monitor: fix nullptr dereference when get_md_name()
 returns NULL

Function add_new_arrays() expects that function get_md_name() should
return pointer to devname, but also get_md_name() may return NULL. So
check the pointer before use it in add_new_arrays().
