Subject: [PATCH -2nd repost 4/4] SCSI: scsi_lib, fix potential NULL dereference
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2009 17:15:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1257351321-8281-4-git-send-email-jirislaby@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1257351321-8281-1-git-send-email-jirislaby@gmail.com>

Stanse found a potential NULL dereference in scsi_kill_request.

Instead of triggering BUG() in 'if (unlikely(cmd == NULL))' branch,
the kernel will Oops earlier on cmd dereference.

Move the dereferences after the if.
