The kmalloc is passed indirectly to from but with an offset which if not 0 will cause the null check if (to && from && size) to succeed. An explicit !NULL check is thus added for params here. ipipe_s_config and ipipe_g_config - both fail to check kmalloc are called from ipipe_ioctl where a negative return is a valid indication of error so simply setting rval = -ENOMEM seems ok.
