[PATCH v3] staging: mmal-vchiq: add a check for the return of vmalloc()

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

 



From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

vmalloc() is a memory allocation API which can return NULL when some
internal memory errors happen. So it is better to check the return
value of it to catch the error in time.

ChangeLog:
v1->v2 jump to the proper location and remove redundant instruction.
v2->v3 fix the mistake bring by version 2.
