From 31c4e8cd42eb2f6aedccd13670e113d2ca1db39e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xi Wang Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2013 03:22:57 -0500 Subject: nfs: fix null checking in nfs_get_option_str() commit e25fbe380c4e3c09afa98bcdcd9d3921443adab8 upstream. The following null pointer check is broken. *option = match_strdup(args); return !option; The pointer `option' must be non-null, and thus `!option' is always false. Use `!*option' instead. The bug was introduced in commit c5cb09b6f8 ("Cleanup: Factor out some cut-and-paste code.").
