From de66c610a6adade32bf955f67b4f4f4aaeeeff85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacob Keller Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 10:47:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fm10k: prevent null pointer dereference of msix_entries table According to the C standard dereferencing a variable before it is checked invokes undefined behavior, and thus compilers are free to assume the check for NULL isn't necessary. Prevent this by re-ordering the NULL check of msix_entries in fm10k_free_mbx_irq.
