From: Vasily Averin Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 11:04:25 +0000 (-0700) Subject: wrong memory access in i2o_block_device_lock() X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~32558 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=010904cbed3db3464213fbc602802cc6f53e56e1;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git wrong memory access in i2o_block_device_lock() This patch fixes access to memory that has not been allocated: i2o_msg_get_wait() can returns errors different from I2O_QUEUE_EMPTY. But the result is checked only against this code. If it is not I2O_QUEUE_EMPTY then we dereference the error code as the pointer later.
