Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mtd: Check for allocation failures and bail out appropriately in init_msp_flash()
Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2007 03:57:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200708260357.20106.jesper.juhl@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200708260356.17664.jesper.juhl@gmail.com>
mtd: Check for allocation failures and bail out appropriately in init_msp_flash()
Just trusting that a memory allocation succeeds is a bad habbit that
can lead to null pointer dereferences fairly fast.
In drivers/mtd/maps/pmcmsp-flash.c::init_msp_flash() there are a few
allocations where I don't see anything guaranteeing that they will
never fail, yet they are not checked for success...
This patch adds checks for these allocations and also cleans up
previous allocations properly in case one fails.
