Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 2/2] tools: ynl: check alloc fails in generated getter code
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 17:15:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807171500.7188-3-thaisonphan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807171500.7188-1-thaisonphan@google.com>

Generated YNL getter code does not check the return value of malloc() and
calloc() before passing the resulting pointer to memcpy(). This could lead
to a NULL pointer dereference on memory allocation failure.

Updated the C code generator to check for allocation failures and to return
an error code in getters.

Signed-off-by: Thaison Phan <thaisonphan@google.com>
---
v1 -> v2: Removed updates to allocation checks in setters as those can be
fixed in a separate patch. (Suggested by Jakub Kicinski)

v1:
