4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kunwu Chan <chentao@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f46c8a75263f97bda13c739ba1c90aced0d3b071 ] kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful by checking the pointer validity.
