[GitHub] trafficserver issue #802: TS-4583: Null-pointer dereference after check

Github user bryancall commented on the issue:

    https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/802
  
    I think it is correct to check the value of the server_entry is not NULL before dereferencing the pointer in the same conditional.  This is a common pattern.
    
    The method release_server_session dereferences dereference server_entry, so it is most likely stopped by the servers_session NULL pointer check before the dereference.  This is more of a side effect and shouldn't be relied on.
