me that it is possible for a null pointer to be deferenced?
struct buf *bp;
bp = getblk(vp, blkno, size, 0, 0);
*bpp = bp;
/* if not found in cache, do some I/O */
if ((bp->b_flags &
[cred->cr_uid==0]

There might be. I have not looked at the NFS code. However, offhand, I do
not see any reason why this should be the case, except for bugs in the
code, given that any requrest wi

Actually, our suser() implementation is pretty non-portable.
However, using suser() rather than a credential check is better form. In
the former case, you are checking for the presence of special privileges,
while in the latter case, you are
any objections to changing this?

This is very unprofessional. I hope I shall never have to order from your
