Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] kexec: Fix uninitialized struct kimage *image pointer
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 14:34:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103063440.1681657-2-maqianga@uniontech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251103063440.1681657-1-maqianga@uniontech.com>
The image is initialized to NULL. Then, after calling kimage_alloc_init,
we can directly goto 'out' because at this time, the kimage_free will
determine whether image is a NULL pointer.
This can also prepare for the subsequent patch's kexec_core_dbg_print
to be reset to zero in kimage_free.
