Subject: [2.6 patch] fs/smbfs/request.c: fix NULL dereference
Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2005 01:15:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050325001540.GF3966@stusta.de> (raw)

The Coverity checker found that if req was NULL because find_request 
returned NULL, this resulted in a break from the switch, but req was 
later dereferenced (look at the last line of this patch).
