From cf4a5ce03da2549e63a08b1391dbade9056d8d3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2017 10:13:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mt76: fix memcpy to potential null pointer on failed allocation Currently if the allocation of skb fails and returns NULL then the call to skb_put will cause a null pointer dereference. Fix this by checking for a null skb and returning NULL. Note that calls to function mt76x2_mcu_msg_alloc don't directly check the null return but instead pass the NULL pointer to mt76x2_mcu_msg_send which checks for the NULL and returns ENOMEM in this case.
