Subject: [PATCH 4.4 14/63] MIPS: ath25: Check for kzalloc allocation failure
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2018 16:22:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180316152301.624796460@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180316152259.964532775@linuxfoundation.org>

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

commit 1b22b4b28fd5fbc51855219e3238b3ab81da8466 upstream.

Currently there is no null check on a failed allocation of board_data,
and hence a null pointer dereference will occurr. Fix this by checking
for the out of memory null pointer.
