[PATCH] staging: most: don't access hdm_ch before checking it valid

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

 



In try_start_dim_transfer(), pointer hdm_ch is accessed before checking.
This may lead to a potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by
dereferencing hdm_ch after calling BUG_ON().
