From 8c9ff1addad515037abc1b14684f9d6fd480c247 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2017 15:07:18 +0100 Subject: block, bfq: don't dereference bic before null checking it The call to bfq_check_ioprio_change will dereference bic, however, the null check for bic is after this call. Move the the null check on bic to before the call to avoid any potential null pointer dereference issues.
