[PATCH] staging: wilc1000: add check for kmalloc allocation failure.

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a sanity check that wid.val has been allocated, fixes a null
pointer deference on stamac when calling ether_add_copy.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1369537 ("Dereference null return value")
