From a52298dba1c83b9ea7557c92c0200d325a966a99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 12:00:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] USB: fix testing the wrong variable in fs_create_by_name() commit fa7fe7af146a7b613e36a311eefbbfb5555325d1 upstream. There is a typo here. We should be testing "*dentry" which was just assigned instead of "dentry". This could result in dereferencing an ERR_PTR inside either usbfs_mkdir() or usbfs_create().
