[PATCH 1/1] ARM: S3C24XX: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference error

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

 



chan->end is tested for being NULL. However in the event that it is NULL, the
subsequent assignment statement would lead to NULL pointer dereference.
Thus dereferencing it only when it is not NULL.

Based on Kukjin Kim's for-next branch. Compile tested.
