[PATCH] qede: fix null pointer dereference on skb on allocation failure
From: Colin King
Date: Wed Aug 01 2018 - 12:39:53 EST
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
If skb fails to be allocated with the call to build_skb then a
null pointer dereference will occur on the call to skb_reserve.
Fix this by checking for a null skb and returning NULL.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1469485 ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 8a8633978b84 ("qede: Add build_skb() support.")
