From ddce40df6e14dd474bbd9daa006dcc290dea6326 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 08:30:11 +0200 Subject: sunrpc: fix crash in rpc_malloc() While the comment says: * To prevent rpciod from hanging, this allocator never sleeps, * returning NULL if the request cannot be serviced immediately. The function does not actually check for NULL pointers being returned.
