Subject: [PATCH v2] eth: mlx4: Fix IS_ERR() vs NULL check bug in mlx4_en_create_rx_ring
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:50:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250828065050.21954-1-linmq006@gmail.com> (raw)
Replace NULL check with IS_ERR() check after calling page_pool_create()
since this function returns error pointers (ERR_PTR).
Using NULL check could lead to invalid pointer dereference.
Fixes: 8533b14b3d65 ("eth: mlx4: create a page pool for Rx")
Signed-off-by: Miaoqian Lin <linmq006@gmail.com>
----
Changes in v2:
use err = PTR_ERR(ring->pp);
