Subject: [PATCH v3] nvdimm: ndtest: Return -ENOMEM if devm_kcalloc() fails in ndtest_probe()
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 14:44:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250925064448.1908583-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)

devm_kcalloc() may fail. ndtest_probe() allocates three DMA address
arrays (dcr_dma, label_dma, dimm_dma) and later unconditionally uses
them in ndtest_nvdimm_init(), which can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference under low-memory conditions.

Check all three allocations and return -ENOMEM if any allocation fails,
jumping to the common error path. Do not emit an extra error message
since the allocator already warns on allocation failure.

Fixes: 9399ab61ad82 ("ndtest: Add dimms to the two buses")

changelog:
v3:
- Add NULL checks for all three devm_kcalloc() calls and goto the common
  error label on failure.

v2:
- Drop pr_err() on allocation failure; only NULL-check and return -ENOMEM.
- No other changes.
