From 0a54ea9f481f1a2ca5a171e91ddaacb75040f287 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kangjie Lu Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2018 16:58:06 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtlwifi: rtl8822b: fix a missing check of alloc_skb __netdev_alloc_skb() return NULl when it fails. skb_put() further uses it even when the allocation fails, leading to NULL pointer dereference. The fix inserts a check for the return value of __netdev_alloc_skb().
