This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/amdkfd: Check for potential null return of kmalloc_array() 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: drm-amdkfd-check-for-potential-null-return-of-kmallo.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 499bf6ed9698b0d56d0cad1b26a4aca430ed5bc8 Author: QintaoShen <unSimple1993@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 24 16:26:23 2022 +0800 drm/amdkfd: Check for potential null return of kmalloc_array() [ Upstream commit ebbb7bb9e80305820dc2328a371c1b35679f2667 ] As the kmalloc_array() may return null, the 'event_waiters[i].wait' would lead to null-pointer dereference. Therefore, it is better to check the return value of kmalloc_array() to avoid this confusion.
