Subject: [PATCH] drm/mgag200: fix null pointer dereference
Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2012 14:52:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1341652935-19188-1-git-send-email-devendra.aaru@gmail.com> (raw)
we are referencing the pointer after doing alloc_apertures,
as alloc_apertures kzallocs, the kzalloc may fail and we get a NULL.
so we need to check for NULL before we dereference this pointer
