From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Check that the result of kmalloc is not NULL before dereferencing it. The patch also replaces kmalloc + memset by kzalloc. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression *x; identifier f; constant char *C; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...); ... when != x == NULL when != x != NULL when != (x || ...) ( kfree(x) | f(...,C,...,x,...) | *f(...,x,...) | *x->f ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c | 5 +++-- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c b/drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c index 1cfa8b4..5b33b85 100644 --- a/drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c +++ b/drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c @@ -777,10 +777,11 @@ static int btmrvl_sdio_host_to_card(struct btmrvl_private *priv, buf = payload; if ((unsigned long) payload & (BTSDIO_DMA_ALIGN - 1)) { tmpbufsz = ALIGN_SZ(nb, BTSDIO_DMA_ALIGN); - tmpbuf = kmalloc(tmpbufsz, GFP_KERNEL); - memset(tmpbuf, 0, tmpbufsz); + tmpbuf = kzalloc(tmpbufsz, GFP_KERNEL); + if (!tmpbuf) + return -ENOMEM; buf = (u8 *) ALIGN_ADDR(tmpbuf, BTSDIO_DMA_ALIGN); memcpy(buf, payload, nb); } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
