[PATCH 4.19 40/72] staging: rtlwifi: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference of kzalloc

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 02 2019 - 11:27:24 EST


[ Upstream commit 6a8ca24590a2136921439b376c926c11a6effc0e ]

phydm.internal is allocated using kzalloc which is used multiple
times without a check for NULL pointer. This patch avoids such a
scenario by returning 0, consistent with the failure case.
