This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled thermal: int340x: Check for NULL after calling kmemdup() to the 5.10-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: thermal-int340x-check-for-null-after-calling-kmemdup.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1008e7ab3aaf3af9df860957a3f1cf036261e84d Author: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 26 09:48:53 2022 +0800 thermal: int340x: Check for NULL after calling kmemdup() [ Upstream commit 38b16d6cfe54c820848bcfc999bc5e8a7da1cefb ] As the potential failure of the allocation, kmemdup() may return NULL. Then, 'bin_attr_data_vault.private' will be NULL, but 'bin_attr_data_vault.size' is not 0, which is not consistent. Therefore, it is better to check the return value of kmemdup() to avoid the confusion.
