Subject: [RFC: 2.6 patch] include/linux/nfsd/nfsfh.h: fix a NULL
Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2006 14:17:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061112131748.GI25057@stusta.de> (raw)

dereference
Reply-To: 
Fcc: =sent-mail

When we know fhp->fh_dentry is NULL, a code path where it's being 
dereferenced isn't a good choice.

Spotted by the coverity checker.
