From 79e448bf2d71d52d28c99be4faff9cc51928f90b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Dobson Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 21:32:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix a bug in scsi_get_command scsi_get_command() attempts to write into a structure that may not have been successfully allocated. Move this write inside the if statement that ensures we won't panic the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference.
