Only compile-tested. This was discovered by our static code analysis tool. I do not use CIFS and do not know how to actually reproduce the NULL dereference.

What? That's funny. And nothing I'm going to be adding to the changelog text, sorry, as that's not what is upstream.
That is fine by me. I placed this text below the 3 dashed lines so it does _not_ end up in the commit message, but still discloses this information.
Please go poke your lawyers, that's not ok.
Yes, perhaps I should. But let's go forward with this patch since it keeps the original commit message?
It's already been queued up, you should have gotten an email saying that, right?
thanks,
