Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: Potential NULL dereference on allocation error
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2018 20:42:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181221204252.GA29544@kadam> (raw)
The source_sink_alloc_func() function is supposed to return error
pointers on error. The function is called from usb_get_function() which
doesn't check for NULL returns so it would result in an Oops.
Of course, in the current kernel, small allocations always succeed so
this doesn't affect runtime.
