If we fail to allocate struct platform_device pdev we dereference it after the goto label err. This bug was found using coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Emil Goode <emilgoode@xxxxxxxxx> --- v4: Simplified version that just fixes the bug. Also updated the changelog. v3: Made subject line more specific. v2: Changed to return -ENOMEM instead of ret where possible and updated the subject line. arch/arm/mach-imx/devices/platform-ipu-core.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/devices/platform-ipu-core.c b/arch/arm/mach-imx/devices/platform-ipu-core.c index fc4dd7c..6bd7c3f 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mach-imx/devices/platform-ipu-core.c +++ b/arch/arm/mach-imx/devices/platform-ipu-core.c @@ -77,7 +77,7 @@ struct platform_device *__init imx_alloc_mx3_camera( pdev = platform_device_alloc("mx3-camera", 0); if (!pdev) - goto err; + return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); pdev->dev.dma_mask = kmalloc(sizeof(*pdev->dev.dma_mask), GFP_KERNEL); if (!pdev->dev.dma_mask) -- 1.7.10.4 -- 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
