[PATCH 4.4 02/20] vsock: cope with memory allocation failure at socket creation time

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 21 2019 - 09:38:00 EST


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

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

[ Upstream commit 225d9464268599a5b4d094d02ec17808e44c7553 ]

In the unlikely event that the kmalloc call in vmci_transport_socket_init()
fails, we end-up calling vmci_transport_destruct() with a NULL vmci_trans()
and oopsing.

This change addresses the above explicitly checking for zero vmci_trans()
at destruction time.
