This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dpaa2-eth: check fsl_mc_get_endpoint for IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to the 5.7-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dpaa2-eth-check-fsl_mc_get_endpoint-for-is_err_or_nu.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f46afea868f7574bf48486b3bda903ac3706a066 Author: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 14 15:08:16 2020 +0300 dpaa2-eth: check fsl_mc_get_endpoint for IS_ERR_OR_NULL() [ Upstream commit 841eb4012cef84820e5906527b31a854f42b0748 ] The fsl_mc_get_endpoint() function can return an error or directly a NULL pointer in case the peer device is not under the root DPRC container. Treat this case also, otherwise it would lead to a NULL pointer when trying to access the peer fsl_mc_device.
