[patch] ixgbevf: potential NULL dereference on allocation failure

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

 



If "rx_ring" is NULL then it will oops when we try:

	memcpy(rx_ring, adapter->rx_ring,
		adapter->num_rx_queues * sizeof(struct ixgbevf_ring));

To be honest, I'm not sure why the check for need_tx_update is there.
This change has only been compile tested.
