[PATCH v2] staging: rtlwifi: rtl8822b: fix to avoid NULL pointer dereference

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

 



skb allocated via dev_alloc_skb can fail and return a NULL pointer.
This patch avoids such a scenario and returns, consistent with other
invocations.
