[PATCH] drm/i915/kvmgt: avoid dereferencing a potentially null info pointer

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

 



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

info is being checked to see if it is a null pointer, however, vpgu is
dereferencing info before this check, leading to a potential null
pointer dereference.  If info is null, then the error message being
printed by macro gvt_vgpu_err and this requires vpgu to exist. We can
use a null vpgu as the macro has a sanity check to see if vpgu is null,
so this is OK.

Detected with CoverityScan, CID#1420672 ("Dereference nefore null check")

Fixes: 695fbc08d80f ("drm/i915/gvt: replace the gvt_err with gvt_vgpu_err")
