[PATCH 2/9] staging: wilc1000: avoid 'NULL' pointer access in wilc_network_info_received()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Added 'NULL' check before accessing the allocated memory. Free up the
memory incase of failure to enqueue the command. Used kmemdup instead of
kmalloc & memcpy.
