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
