Subject: [PATCH] octeon_ep_vf: add NULL check for napi_build_skb()
Date: Fri,  3 Apr 2026 21:07:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260403200732.497307-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)

napi_build_skb() can return NULL on allocation failure. In
__octep_vf_oq_process_rx(), the result is used directly without a NULL
check in both the single-buffer and multi-fragment paths, leading to a
NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL checks after both napi_build_skb() calls, properly advancing
descriptors and consuming remaining fragments on failure.

Fixes: 1cd3b407977c ("octeon_ep_vf: add Tx/Rx processing and interrupt support")
