Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/cxgb4: fix null pointer dereference on alloc_skb failure
Date: Sat, 13 Apr 2019 17:00:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190413160026.5873-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
Currently if alloc_skb fails to allocate the skb a null skb is passed
to t4_set_arp_err_handler and this ends up dereferencing the null skb.
Avoid the null pointer dereference by checking for a null skb and
returning early.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: b38a0ad8ec11 ("RDMA/cxgb4: Set arp error handler for PASS_ACCEPT_RPL messages")
