kzalloc() is used to allocate memory for cd->detectors, and if it fails, channel_detector_exit() behind the label fail will be called: channel_detector_exit(dpd, cd); In channel_detector_exit(), cd->detectors is dereferenced through: struct pri_detector *de = cd->detectors[i]; To fix this possible null-pointer dereference, check cd->detectors before the for loop to dereference cd->detectors.
