Subject: [PATCH v2] net: thunderx: nicvf_main: Fix potential NULL pointer dereferences
Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2018 17:04:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180403220423.GA718@embeddedor.com> (raw)
Add null check on kmalloc() return value in order to prevent
a null pointer dereference.
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1467429 ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 37c3347eb247 ("net: thunderx: add ndo_set_rx_mode callback implementation for VF")
Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>

Changes in v2:
- Add a null check on a second kmalloc a few lines below. Thanks to
Eric Dumazet for pointing this out.
