[PATCH v2] pvcalls-front: fix potential null dereference
From: Wen Yang
Date: Mon Jan 14 2019 - 21:32:51 EST
static checker warning:
drivers/xen/pvcalls-front.c:373 alloc_active_ring()
error: we previously assumed 'map->active.ring' could be null
(see line 357)
drivers/xen/pvcalls-front.c
351 static int alloc_active_ring(struct sock_mapping *map)
352 {
353 void *bytes;

355 map->active.ring = (struct pvcalls_data_intf *)
356 get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL);
357 if (!map->active.ring)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Check
358 goto out;
359
360 map->active.ring->ring_order = PVCALLS_RING_ORDER;
361 bytes = (void *)__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO,
362 PVCALLS_RING_ORDER);
363 if (!bytes)
364 goto out;
365
366 map->active.data.in = bytes;
367 map->active.data.out = bytes +
368 XEN_FLEX_RING_SIZE(PVCALLS_RING_ORDER);
369
370 return 0;
371
372 out:
--> 373 free_active_ring(map);
^^^
Add null check on map->active.ring before dereferencing it to avoid
any NULL pointer dereferences.
