Signed-off-by: Gaurav Singh <gaurav1086@xxxxxxxxx> The bpf_prog is being checked for !NULL after uml_kmalloc but later its used directly for example: bpf_prog->filter = bpf and is also later returned upon success. Fix this, do a NULL check and return right away. --- arch/um/drivers/vector_user.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/um/drivers/vector_user.c b/arch/um/drivers/vector_user.c index aa28e9eecb7b..71d043ae306f 100644 --- a/arch/um/drivers/vector_user.c +++ b/arch/um/drivers/vector_user.c @@ -730,10 +730,12 @@ void *uml_vector_user_bpf(char *filename) return false; } bpf_prog = uml_kmalloc(sizeof(struct sock_fprog), UM_GFP_KERNEL); - if (bpf_prog != NULL) { - bpf_prog->len = statbuf.st_size / sizeof(struct sock_filter); - bpf_prog->filter = NULL; + if (bpf_prog == NULL) { + printk(KERN_ERR "Failed to allocate bpf prog buffer"); + return NULL; } + bpf_prog->len = statbuf.st_size / sizeof(struct sock_filter); + bpf_prog->filter = NULL; ffd = os_open_file(filename, of_read(OPENFLAGS()), 0); if (ffd < 0) { printk(KERN_ERR "Error %d opening bpf file", -errno); -- 2.17.1
