qemu: Alter condition to avoid possible NULL deref

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Alter condition to avoid possible NULL deref

Posted by John Ferlan 7 years, 3 months ago

Commit 'f0f2a5ec2' neglected to adjust the if condition to split
out the possibility that the @watchdog is NULL when altering the
message to add detail about the model.

Just split out the condition and use previous/original message, but
with the new message code.

Oh I see now. The problem is not with the condition, but this
virReportError() uses watchdog->model (for better message) which is
dangerous in case @watchdog == NULL. I though that there's something bad
with the condition itself.

ACK
