Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: missing check for possible NULL after the call to kstrdup
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2021 00:37:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211109003742.GA5423@raspberrypi> (raw)

From: Austin Kim <austin.kim@lge.com>

If kcalloc() return NULL due to memory starvation, it is possible for 
kstrdup() to return NULL in similar case. So add null check after the call 
to kstrdup() is made.
