[PATCH 3.12 171/181] fs: btrfs: volumes.c: Fix for possible null pointer dereference

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Mon Jun 30 2014 - 08:48:57 EST


From: Rickard Strandqvist <rickard_strandqvist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 8321cf2596d283821acc466377c2b85bcd3422b7 upstream.

There is otherwise a risk of a possible null pointer dereference.

Was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.
