From f30d704fe1244c44a984d3d1f47bc648bcc6c9f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin LaHaise Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2013 18:23:48 -0400 Subject: aio: table lookup: verify ctx pointer Another shortcoming of the table lookup patch was revealed where the pointer was not being tested before being dereferenced. Verify this to avoid the NULL pointer dereference.
