I will review it when I return back to the office in next week. I reviewed that part and realized bdget_disk could fail when memory is tight so you're right. But please separate it with two stuffs. 1. fix reset_store bug caused by accessing NULL ptr 2. fix destroy_device by smatch warning. 1 is real bug fix which NULL ptr access will happen when memory is tight although it's very rare so that IMO, it should go stable tree while 2 is just smatch warning which will never happen in real practice. Thanks for looking this! -- Kind regards, Minchan Kim _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
