[PATCH] mm: fix a possible null pointer dereference in setup_zone_pageset()

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

 



The function call alloc_percpu() returns a pointer to the memory address,
but it hasn't been checked. Our static analysis tool indicates that null
pointer dereference may exist in pointer zone->per_cpu_pageset. It is
always safe to judge the null pointer before use.
