Subject: [2.6.19 patch] drivers/block/aoe/aoedev.c: fix NULL dereference
Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2006 01:40:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061101004025.GY27968@stusta.de> (raw)
This patch fixes a NULL dereference introduced by
commit e407a7f6cd143b3ab4eb3d7e1cf882e96b710eb5:
This quite unusual error handling through a switch introduces NULL
dereferences if exactly one of the two k{c,z}alloc's failed.
That wouldn't be unfixable, but considering that the Linux kernel is not
part of the obfuscated C contest (and silent fallthroughs in switches do
not improve readability) I've converted it to a normal error handling.
The NULL dereference was spotted by the Coverity checker.
