Subject: [patch 7/8] dm verity fec: Check result of init_rs()
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2018 22:51:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180328205554.845997973@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180328205138.301218351@linutronix.de>
[-- Attachment #1: dm-verity-fec--Check-result-of-init_rs--.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 780 bytes --]
The allocation of the reed solomon control structure can fail, but
fec_alloc_bufs() ignores that and subsequent operations in dm verity use
the potential NULL pointer unconditionally.
Add a proper check and abort if init_rs() fails.
