[PATCH 3.2 178/200] staging: comedi: pcmuio: fix possible NULL deref on detach

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

 



3.2.56-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2fd2bdfccae61efe18f6b92b6a45fbf936d75b48 upstream.

pcmuio_detach() is called by the comedi core even if pcmuio_attach()
returned an error, so `dev->private` might be `NULL`.  Check for that
before dereferencing it.

Also, as pointed out by Dan Carpenter, there is no need to check the
pointer passed to `kfree()` is non-NULL, so remove that check.
