From 03b147083a2f9a2a3fbbd2505fa88ffa3c6ab194 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:15:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] scsi_lib: fix potential NULL dereference Stanse found a potential NULL dereference in scsi_kill_request. Instead of triggering BUG() in 'if (unlikely(cmd == NULL))' branch, the kernel will Oops earlier on cmd dereference. Move the dereferences after the if.
