[PATCH 5.8 175/464] staging: most: avoid null pointer dereference when iface is null

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e4463e49e29f43eecec86e2e2b2e2ab4feb7d867 ]

In the case where the pointer iface is null then the reporting of this
error will dereference iface when printing an error message causing which
is not ideal.  Since the majority of callers to most_register_interface
report an error when -EINVAL is returned a simple fix is to just remove
the error message, I doubt it will be missed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check")
