Subject: [patch]  hv: util: checking the wrong variable
Date: Fri, 29 May 2015 15:12:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150529151234.GG10313@mwanda> (raw)

We don't catch this allocation failure because there is a typo and we
check the wrong variable.

Fixes: 14b50f80c32d ('Drivers: hv: util: introduce hv_utils_transport abstraction')
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
