[PATCH v1] ASoC: Intel: avs: Add NULL check in avs_component_probe()

[PATCH v1] ASoC: Intel: avs: Add NULL check in avs_component_probe()

[Henry Martin]

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently,
avs_component_probe() does not check for this case, which results in a
NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.

Do you generally propose here to improve the error handling?

Can a blank line be desirable after such a statement?


Would another source code transformation become helpful with an additional update step?

Please feel free to ignore Markus. He has a tendency to provide unclear
and nonsense feedback. He has done this several times with my patch
sets. I almost wonder if he is an internet troll.

In any case, this change makes sense to me.

Can any of the published contributions change your mind?

Feel free to ignore Markus, he has a long history of sending
unhelpful review comments and continues to ignore repeated requests
to stop.

This basically repeats the title, I'd suggest to drop this very line. In 
regard to the title, I believe:

	ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix null-ptr-deref in avs_component_probe()

is more straightforward. That's what you're doing here afterall, fixing 
stuff.

Good catch, thanks for sending the fix, Martin. I'm rather strict when 
it comes to wording title/message but nothing more than a nitpick in 
this case.

Whether you would be willing to provide v2 or not, feel free to add my tag:

[PATCH v2] ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix null-ptr-deref in avs_component_probe()

[Henry Martin]

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently,
avs_component_probe() does not check for this case, which results in a
NULL pointer dereference.

Can a summary phrase like “Prevent null pointer dereference
in avs_component_probe()” a bit nicer?

Thanks!

[1/1] ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix null-ptr-deref in avs_component_probe()
      commit: 95f723cf141b95e3b3a5b92cf2ea98a863fe7275

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
