Signed-off-by: Gaurav Singh <gaurav1086@xxxxxxxxx> The memset call is made right after malloc call which can return a NULL pointer upon failure causing a segmentation fault. Fix this by adding a null check right after malloc() and then do memset(). --- samples/bpf/xdp_rxq_info_user.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/samples/bpf/xdp_rxq_info_user.c b/samples/bpf/xdp_rxq_info_user.c index 4fe47502ebed..2d03c84a4cca 100644 --- a/samples/bpf/xdp_rxq_info_user.c +++ b/samples/bpf/xdp_rxq_info_user.c @@ -202,11 +202,11 @@ static struct datarec *alloc_record_per_cpu(void) size = sizeof(struct datarec) * nr_cpus; array = malloc(size); - memset(array, 0, size); if (!array) { fprintf(stderr, "Mem alloc error (nr_cpus:%u)\n", nr_cpus); exit(EXIT_FAIL_MEM); } + memset(array, 0, size); return array; } @@ -218,11 +218,11 @@ static struct record *alloc_record_per_rxq(void) size = sizeof(struct record) * nr_rxqs; array = malloc(size); - memset(array, 0, size); if (!array) { fprintf(stderr, "Mem alloc error (nr_rxqs:%u)\n", nr_rxqs); exit(EXIT_FAIL_MEM); } + memset(array, 0, size); return array; } @@ -233,11 +233,11 @@ static struct stats_record *alloc_stats_record(void) int i; rec = malloc(sizeof(*rec)); - memset(rec, 0, sizeof(*rec)); if (!rec) { fprintf(stderr, "Mem alloc error\n"); exit(EXIT_FAIL_MEM); } + memset(rec, 0, sizeof(*rec)); rec->rxq = alloc_record_per_rxq(); for (i = 0; i < nr_rxqs; i++) rec->rxq[i].cpu = alloc_record_per_cpu(); -- 2.17.1
