From db5a4d5e1073be452645d7021eeaf807d70325a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2018 18:40:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] wil6210: fix potential null dereference of ndev before null check The pointer ndev is being dereferenced before it is being null checked, hence there is a potential null pointer deference. Fix this by only dereferencing ndev after it has been null checked Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1467010 ("Dereference before null check") Fixes: e00243fab84b ("wil6210: infrastructure for multiple virtual interfaces") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Reviewed-by: Maya Erez Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/main.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/main.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/main.c index a4b413e8d55a..82aec6b06d09 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/main.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/main.c @@ -391,7 +391,7 @@ static void wil_fw_error_worker(struct work_struct *work) struct wil6210_priv *wil = container_of(work, struct wil6210_priv, fw_error_worker); struct net_device *ndev = wil->main_ndev; - struct wireless_dev *wdev = ndev->ieee80211_ptr; + struct wireless_dev *wdev; wil_dbg_misc(wil, "fw error worker\n"); @@ -399,6 +399,7 @@ static void wil_fw_error_worker(struct work_struct *work) wil_info(wil, "No recovery - interface is down\n"); return; } + wdev = ndev->ieee80211_ptr; /* increment @recovery_count if less then WIL6210_FW_RECOVERY_TO * passed since last recovery attempt -- 2.30.2
