Hi!
I found several places in the kernel source code where kmalloc is called
without any check if the return value is null. Is this a serious matter,
e.g. should such code be fixed?
My intuition is that otherwise this could lead to code defreferencing a
null pointer, though it is not likely that kmalloc fails...
Is it reasonable to enforce such checks for errors for all modules?
Thanks for clarification on that matter,
Hendrik
