Subject: [for-next][PATCH 02/12] tracing: Fix some alloc_event_probe() error handling bugs
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 2021 15:18:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210908191953.503827696@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210908191851.381347939@goodmis.org>
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
There are two bugs in this code. First, if the kzalloc() fails it leads
to a NULL dereference of "ep" on the next line. Second, if the
alloc_event_probe() function returns an error then it leads to an
error pointer dereference in the caller.

Fixes: 7491e2c44278 ("tracing: Add a probe that attaches to trace events")
