As reported by @Bbulatov in GH #2586, stktable_data_ptr() return value is
used without checking it isn't NULL first, which may happen if the given
type is invalid or not stored in the table.
However, since date_type is set by table_prepare_data_request() right
before cli_io_handler_table() is invoked, date_type is not expected to
be invalid: table_prepare_data_request() normally checked that the type
is stored inside the table. Thus stktable_data_ptr() should not be failing
at this point, so we add a BUG_ON() to indicate that.
ptr = stktable_data_ptr(ctx->t,
ctx->entry,
dt);
+ /* table_prepare_data_request() normally ensures the
+ * type is both valid and stored
+ */
+ BUG_ON(!ptr);
data = 0;
switch (stktable_data_types[dt].std_type) {
