[PATCH 2/2] staging: wfx: check the return value of devm_kmalloc()

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

 



From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

devm_kmalloc() returns a pointer to allocated memory on success, NULL
on failure. While there is a memory allocation of devm_kmalloc()
without proper check. It is better to check the return value of it to
prevent wrong memory access.
