Subject: [RFC][PATCH 4/8] Fix a bug in scsi_get_command
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2005 11:41:17 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <437E2E5D.1050300@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <437E2C69.4000708@us.ibm.com>

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 104 bytes --]

Testing this patch series uncovered a small bug in scsi_get_command.  This
patch fixes that bug.

[-- Attachment #2: scsi_get_command-fix.patch --]
[-- Type: text/x-patch, Size: 958 bytes --]

scsi_get_command() attempts to write into a structure that may not have been
successfully allocated.  Move this write inside the if statement that ensures
we won't panic the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference.
