Subject: [PATCH] net: hns3: fix null pointer dereference before null check
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2017 20:51:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170929195123.4189-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

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

pointer ndev is being dereferenced with the call to netif_running
before it is being null checked.  Re-order the code to only dereference
ndev after it has been null checked.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1457206 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: 9df8f79a4d29 ("net: hns3: Add DCB support when interacting with network stack")
