From 4019ad07013a5d8618b867f724d1c4a13c5cb05d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Liu Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2011 18:28:01 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Monitor: avoid NULL dereference with 0.90 metadata 0.90 array do not report the metadata type in /proc/mdstat, so we cannot assume that mse->metadata_version is non-NULL. So add an appropriate check. This adds an additional check missed by commit eb28e119b03fd5149886ed516fa4bb006ad3602e.
