[PATCH] mm/migrate: check for null vma before dereferencing it
From: Colin King
Date: Tue Apr 11 2017 - 08:51:16 EST
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
check if vma is null before dereferencing it, this avoiding any
potential null pointer dereferences on vma via the is_vm_hugetlb_page
call or the direct vma->vm_flags reference.
Detected with CoverityScan, CID#1427995 ("Dereference before null check")
