Subject: [PATCH] gpiolib: cdev: Don't access uninitialized descriptor
Date: Fri,  8 Jul 2022 16:55:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <585795d19c13a7136bc4b61307114591af2aea69.1657279521.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org> (raw)

linereq_free() can be called from in the middle of errors, where the
descriptor may be NULL for few lines. Don't access uninitialized
descriptor pointer as it leads to kernel crash:

    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008

    [...]

    Call trace:
     linereq_free+0x54/0xb8
     linereq_create+0x424/0x570
     gpio_ioctl+0x94/0x640
