From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently a failed memory allocation will lead to a null pointer dereference on point wdt. Fix this by checking for a failed allocation and just returning. Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return") Fixes: fd90d48db037 ("rtc: ds1307: add support for watchdog timer on ds1388") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- V2: move error exit label and remove a return statement, thanks to Walter Harms for spotting this clean up. V3: simplify, just bail out and return on detecting the out of memory condition --- drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c index fad042118862..49702942bb08 100644 --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c +++ b/drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c @@ -1673,6 +1673,8 @@ static void ds1307_wdt_register(struct ds1307 *ds1307) return; wdt = devm_kzalloc(ds1307->dev, sizeof(*wdt), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!wdt) + return; wdt->info = &ds1388_wdt_info; wdt->ops = &ds1388_wdt_ops; -- 2.25.1
