Subject: [PATCH] md: raid0/linear: fix dereference before null check on pointer mddev

From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

Pointer mddev is being dereferenced with a test_bit call before mddev
is being null checked, this may cause a null pointer dereference. Fix
this by moving the null pointer checks to sanity check mddev before
it is dereferenced.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 62f7b1989c02 ("md raid0/linear: Mark array as 'broken' and fail BIOs if a member is gone")

P.S. Not sure if it's only me, but the diff is soo much easier to
read when git is set to use patience diff algorithm:

Agreed. Patience is cleaner.
