[PATCH 4.9 59/61] mm/vmalloc.c: dont dereference possible NULL pointer in __vunmap()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Liviu Dudau <liviu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6ade20327dbb808882888ed8ccded71e93067cf9 upstream.

find_vmap_area() can return a NULL pointer and we're going to
dereference it without checking it first.  Use the existing
find_vm_area() function which does exactly what we want and checks for
the NULL pointer.
