[PATCH 4.14 072/173] x86/pti: Check the return value of pti_user_pagetable_walk_pmd()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 24 2018 - 08:16:11 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiang Biao <jiang.biao2@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 8c934e01a7ce685d98e970880f5941d79272c654 ]

pti_user_pagetable_walk_pmd() can return NULL, so the return value should
be checked to prevent a NULL pointer dereference.

Add the check and a warning when the PMD allocation fails.
