From a4e08d001f2e50bb8b3c4eebadcf08e5535f02ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luis Henriques Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:02:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference in __ocfs2_change_file_space() As ocfs2_fallocate() will invoke __ocfs2_change_file_space() with a NULL as the first parameter (file), it may trigger a NULL pointer dereferrence due to a missing check.
