Subject: ppp: potential NULL dereference in ppp_mp_explode()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3429769bc67c7a48b3c01b2452b32171b3450202;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ppp: potential NULL dereference in ppp_mp_explode()

Smatch complains because we check whether "pch->chan" is NULL and then
dereference it unconditionally on the next line.  Partly the reason this
bug was introduced is because code was too complicated.  I've simplified
it a little.
