[PATCH] allocate_flower_entry: should check for null deref

From: Navid Emamdoost
Date: Sun Jul 21 2019 - 02:38:03 EST


allocate_flower_entry does not check for allocation success, but tries
to deref the result. I only moved the spin_lock under null check, because
the caller is checking allocation's status at line 652.
