[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: fix null pointer dereference when access dlm_state before launching dlm thread

[Joseph Qi]

From: Zongxun Wang <wangzongxun at huawei.com>

When mounting an ocfs2 volume, it will firstly generate a file
/sys/kernel/debug/o2dlm/<uuid>/dlm_state, and then launch the dlm thread.
So the following situation will cause a null pointer dereference.
dlm_debug_init -> access file dlm_state which will call dlm_state_print
-> dlm_launch_thread
Move dlm_debug_init after dlm_launch_thread and
dlm_launch_recovery_thread can fix this issue.
