[PATCH][next] drm/vkms: Fix missing kmalloc allocation failure check

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

 



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

Currently the kmalloc allocation for config is not being null
checked and could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference.
Fix this by adding the missing null check.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 2df7af93fdad ("drm/vkms: Add vkms_config type")
