From 52d178516dcf61e7a59363a572458c830af6e520 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 14:26:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hdlc: fix null-deref on allocation failure If alloc_netdev() failed and return NULL, then the next instruction would dereference it. Found by Coverity. Compile tested only. Not sure if anyone still uses this driver (or the whole WAN subsystem). Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
