New Revision: 196149
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/196149

Log:
  Add a check for a NULL mbuf ptr at the beginning of xdrmbuf_inline()
  so that it returns failure instead of crashing when "m->m_len" is
  executed and m == NULL. The mbuf ptr can be NULL when a call to
  xdrmbuf_getbytes() gets the bytes it needs, but they are at the end
  of a short RPC reply. When this happens, xdrmbuf_getbytes() returns
  success, but advances the mbuf ptr (xdrs->x_private) to m_next, which
  is NULL. If this is followed by a call to xdrmbuf_getlong(), it calls
  xdrmbuf_inline(), which would cause a crash by accessing "m->m_len".
