Subject: wrong memory access in i2o_block_device_lock()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~674
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=010904cbed3db3464213fbc602802cc6f53e56e1;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-3.10.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.
