Subject: staging: lustre: lustre: obdclass: obd_mount.c: Fix NULL dereference
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e3e981ad576eeb47ca1ca1743ff3b3d39e576a4;p=linux-beck.git

staging: lustre: lustre: obdclass: obd_mount.c: Fix NULL dereference

OBD_ALLOC_PTR(uuid) invokes kmalloc, which may return NULL. This fix
adds a check before dereferencing such pointer.
