From 6a2aae06cc1e87e9712a26a639f6a2f3442e2027 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelianov Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2006 10:38:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix potential OOPs in blkdev_open() blkdev_open() calls bc_acquire() to get a struct block_device. Since bc_acquire() may return NULL when system is out of memory an appropriate check is required.
