Subject: [PATCH 1/3] net/mlx5e: Fix possible null pointer dereference
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2020 12:32:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200927113254.362480-4-alex.dewar90@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200927113254.362480-1-alex.dewar90@gmail.com>

In mlx5e_tc_unoffload_from_slow_path() a null check is performed for the
variable slow_attr and a warning is issued if it is null. However,
slow_attr is used later on in the function regardless. Fix this by
returning if slow_attr is null.

Addresses-Coverity: CID 1497163: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
