Add the check for the return value of dma_alloc_coherent in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference. This flaw was found using an experimental static analysis tool we are developing, APP-Miner, which has not been disclosed. The allyesconfig build using GCC 9.3.0 shows no new warning. As we don't have a UDC device to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed. Signed-off-by: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changelog: v2 -> v3: 1. Add information of finding tool and tests to commit message. v1 -> v2: 1. Add "goto err;" when allocation fails. --- drivers/usb/gadget/udc/aspeed_udc.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/aspeed_udc.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/aspeed_udc.c index 01968e2167f9..7dc2457c7460 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/aspeed_udc.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/aspeed_udc.c @@ -1516,6 +1516,10 @@ static int ast_udc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) AST_UDC_EP_DMA_SIZE * AST_UDC_NUM_ENDPOINTS, &udc->ep0_buf_dma, GFP_KERNEL); + if (!udc->ep0_buf) { + rc = -ENOMEM; + goto err; + } udc->gadget.speed = USB_SPEED_UNKNOWN; udc->gadget.max_speed = USB_SPEED_HIGH; -- 2.25.1
