Subject: [PATCH net] net: hso: fix NULL-deref on tty registration failure
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2021 11:45:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210426094542.22578-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

If resource allocation and registration fail for a muxed tty device
(e.g. if there are no more minor numbers) the driver should not try to
deregister the never-registered tty.

Fix up the error handling to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer when
attempting to remove the character device:

	BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000064
	[...]
	RIP: 0010:cdev_del+0x4/0x20
	[...]
	Call Trace:
	 tty_unregister_device+0x34/0x50
	 hso_probe+0x1d1/0x57e [hso]

Fixes: 72dc1c096c70 ("HSO: add option hso driver")
