Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] staging: r8188eu: check the return of kzalloc()
Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2022 18:56:55 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_254AD0FF06201BCCF5B9911C6E142CE1F208@qq.com> (raw)
From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@foxmail.com>
kzalloc() is a memory allocation function which can return NULL when
some internal memory errors happen. So it is better to handle the return
of it to prevent potential wrong memory access.
Signed-off-by: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@foxmail.com>

Note: The subsequent patch is specific to properly release the
resources, while this one is just take aware of the validation for the
return of kzalloc().
ChangeLog:
v1->v2: optimize the style and seperate an another patch.
