[PATCH 2/2] lustre/lov_obd: fix possible null pointer dereference

From: Maxin B. John
Date: Wed Mar 05 2014 - 08:05:01 EST


From: "Maxin B. John" <maxin.john@xxxxxxxx>

osc_obd can be NULL. cppcheck reported this:
[lustre/lustre/lov/lov_obd.c:283]: (error) Possible null pointer dereference:
osc_obd - otherwise it is redundant to check if osc_obd is null at line 295
