Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 1/7] powerpc/mm: Fix null-pointer dereference in pgtable_cache_add
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2024 18:28:46 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240115232905.210324-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Kunwu Chan <chentao@kylinos.cn>

[ Upstream commit f46c8a75263f97bda13c739ba1c90aced0d3b071 ]

kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful
by checking the pointer validity.
