[PATCH 4.19 145/175] batman-adv: Return directly after a failed batadv_dat_select_candidates() in batadv_dat_forward_data()

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

 



4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ffc15626c861f811f9778914be004fcf43810a91 ]

The kfree() function was called in one case by
the batadv_dat_forward_data() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Thus return directly after a batadv_dat_select_candidates() call failed
  at the beginning.

* Delete the label “out” which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
