From a30b595d2ca6d39e784a1bed5f2b35f3d7a03af7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:29:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] flex_array: fix get function for elements in base starting at non-zero If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail to return the data. This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used. Otherwise, fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts structures needed and such element may never have been put. Thus, it will remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base. Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all elements do not fit in the base structure. This is otherwise unnecessary since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already hit a NULL pointer).
