From aefa89d178e6dd83889b66d4e800d4d77363900b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prasad P Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 15:14:32 -0500 Subject: nfsd: Fix inconsistent assignment Dereferenced pointer "dentry" without checking and assigned to inode in the declaration. (We could just delete the NULL checks that follow instead, as we never get to the encode function in this particular case. But it takes a little detective work to verify that fact, so it's probably safer to leave the checks in place.) Cc: Steve French Signed-off-by: Prasad V Potluri Signed-off-by: J.
