[PATCH v4] integrity: check the return value of audit_log_start()

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

 



From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

audit_log_start() returns audit_buffer pointer on success or NULL on
error, so it is better to check the return value of it.
