[PATCH 4.19 40/80] trace_events_hist: add check for return value of create_hist_field

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

 



From: Natalia Petrova <n.petrova@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8b152e9150d07a885f95e1fd401fc81af202d9a4 upstream.

Function 'create_hist_field' is called recursively at
trace_events_hist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have
to check it to avoid null pointer dereference.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
