Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: avoid null pointer dereference on p->phy
Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2017 17:57:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170923165720.18560-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
Currently p->phy is being null checked in several places to avoid
null pointer dereferences on p->phy, however, the final call
to phy_attached_info on p->phy when p->phy will perform a null
pointer dereference. Fix this by simply moving the call into
the previous code block that is only executed if p->phy is
not null.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1457034 ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: 2220943a21e2 ("phy: Centralise print about attached phy")
