This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: vidtv: Check for null return of vzalloc to the 5.17-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: media-vidtv-check-for-null-return-of-vzalloc.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4dccb143c523ea620bb18fc0c57cb896735ac528 Author: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 14 07:28:40 2022 +0100 media: vidtv: Check for null return of vzalloc [ Upstream commit e6a21a14106d9718aa4f8e115b1e474888eeba44 ] As the possible failure of the vzalloc(), e->encoder_buf might be NULL. Therefore, it should be better to check it in order to guarantee the success of the initialization. If fails, we need to free not only 'e' but also 'e->name'. Also, if the allocation for ctx fails, we need to free 'e->encoder_buf' else.
