[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/8] block: Null pointer dereference in blk_root_get_parent_desc()

[Liam Merwick <Liam.Merwick@oracle.com>]

The dev_id returned by the call to blk_get_attached_dev_id() in
blk_root_get_parent_desc() can be NULL (an internal call to
object_get_canonical_path may have returned NULL) so it should
be checked before dereferencing.
