From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx> _r8712_init_xmit_priv() or _r8712_init_recv_priv() returns -ENOMEM when some allocations inside it failed. However, the caller, i.e., r8712_init_drv_sw(), does not properly validate their return status, which may lead to potential wrong memory access in the future. Therefore, this patch adds two validation check for their return status and properly jump to the corresponding error hanlding code if failures happen.
