Currently these driver are missing a check on the return value of devm_kzalloc, which would cause a NULL pointer dereference in a OOM situation. This patch adds a missing check for tpm_i2c_atmel.c and tpm_i2c_nuvoton.c Signed-off-by: Kiran Padwal <kiran.padwal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-By: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_atmel.c | 4 ++++ drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_nuvoton.c | 5 +++++ 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+) --- a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_atmel.c +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_atmel.c @@ -168,6 +168,10 @@ static int i2c_atmel_probe(struct i2c_cl chip->vendor.priv = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct priv_data), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!chip->vendor.priv) { + rc = -ENOMEM; + goto out_err; + } /* Default timeouts */ chip->vendor.timeout_a = msecs_to_jiffies(TPM_I2C_SHORT_TIMEOUT); --- a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_nuvoton.c +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_nuvoton.c @@ -538,6 +538,11 @@ static int i2c_nuvoton_probe(struct i2c_ chip->vendor.priv = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct priv_data), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!chip->vendor.priv) { + rc = -ENOMEM; + goto out_err; + } + init_waitqueue_head(&chip->vendor.read_queue); init_waitqueue_head(&chip->vendor.int_queue); Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from kiran.padwal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are queue-3.14/char-tpm-add-missing-error-check-for-devm_kzalloc.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
