Subject: [PATCH] Test for sb_getblk return value
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2973dfdb877c17b36c27ba66d71028ff1eb2f32e;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[PATCH] Test for sb_getblk return value

This patch adds tests for the return value of sb_getblk() in the ext2/3
filesystems.  In fs/buffer.c it is stated that the getblk() function never
fails.  However, it does can return NULL in some situations due to I/O
errors, which may lead us to NULL pointer dereferences
