[PATCH 6.8 005/143] batman-adv: Improve exception handling in batadv_throw_uevent()

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

 



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

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

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5593e9abf1cf2bf096366d8c7fd933bc69d561ce ]

The kfree() function was called in up to three cases by
the batadv_throw_uevent() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Thus adjust jump targets.

* Reorder kfree() calls at the end.
