Re: [PATCH] drm/amdkfd: fix potential null pointer dereference on pointer peer_dev

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

 



 From the comments , "we will  loop GPUs that already be processed (with 
lower value of proximity_domain) ",  the device should already been 
added into the  topology_device_list.  So in this case , 
kfd_topology_device_by_proximity_domain will not return a NULL pointer.  
If you really get the null pointer dereferences here , we must have  
some bigger problem and  can not solved by added the null check here.
