[LU-8182] Suspicious code in mdt_obd_connect

Duplicate — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 02:33:25 +0000

In mdt_obd_connect() we dereference a "data" pointer and then check if it's not NULL which is strange.

        if ((data->ocd_connect_flags & OBD_CONNECT_MDS_MDS) &&
            !(data->ocd_connect_flags & OBD_CONNECT_LIGHTWEIGHT)) {
                atomic_inc(&mdt->mdt_mds_mds_conns);
                mdt_enable_slc(mdt);
        }

        if (!test_bit(MDT_FL_SYNCED, &mdt->mdt_state) && data != NULL &&
