Dereferencing a null pointer on Clang is not a good idea - it will entirely optimise out the dereference. Make the pointer volatile to force the access (and fault).
Reported-by: kernel test robot <[email protected]> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/[email protected]/ Signed-off-by: Kevin Brodsky <[email protected]> --- Hi Andrew, Another fixup for an issue reported by the LKP CI (building with Clang instead of GCC).
