From 9ed38fd4a15417cac83967360cf20b853bfab9b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com> Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 19:18:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: fix incorrect check for null pointer in header_assemble Although very unlikely that the tlink pointer would be null in this case, get_next_mid function can in theory return null (but not an error) so need to check for null (not for IS_ERR, which can not be returned here).
