From bb1320834b8a80c6ac2697ab418d066981ea08ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Navid Emamdoost Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2019 01:37:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] allocate_flower_entry: should check for null deref allocate_flower_entry does not check for allocation success, but tries to deref the result. I only moved the spin_lock under null check, because the caller is checking allocation's status at line 652. Signed-off-by: Navid Emamdoost Signed-off-by: David S.
