[PATCH][next] NFS: Add missing null check for failed allocation

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

 



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

Currently the allocation of buf is not being null checked and
a null pointer dereference can occur when the memory allocation fails.
Fix this by adding a check and returning -ENOMEM.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: 6d972518b821 ("NFS: Add fs_context support.")
