Hi All, While perusing the FreeBSD kernel source code today I noticed that there are several reasons that the getblk() function in vfs_bio.c might decide to return a NULL return code. However, checking both 4-stable and 5-current I can find only place (in 5-curren) where the return value from getblk() is actually checked for the possibility of being NULL (in function cluster_rbuild() in vfs_cluster.c near line 389). In all other instances that I can find the returned value is quickly dereferenced w/o any check.
What am I missing here? Is this really a bug, or are there extenuating circumstances that prevent getblk() from returning NULL in actual operation? Thanks for any insight that you may provide.
