Subject: [PATCH][V2] UBI: block: fix dereference on uninitialized dev
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 10:19:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1408526378-12972-1-git-send-email-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

commit 4df38926f337 ("UBI: block: Avoid disk size integer overflow")
introduced a dereference on dev (which is not initialized at that
point) when printing a warning message.  Re-order disk_capacity check
after the dev is found.

Found by cppcheck:
 [drivers/mtd/ubi/block.c:509]: (error) Uninitialized variable: dev
