[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/2] dm-flakey: Check for null arg_name

From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn at suse.com>

One can crash dm-flakey by specifying more number of feature arguments
than the number of features supplied. Checking for null in arg_name
avoids this.

dmsetup create flakey-test --table "0 66076080 flakey /dev/sdb9 0 0 180 2 \
drop_writes"
