[PATCH] tty_io: Fix a missing-check bug in drivers/tty/tty_io.c

From: Gen Zhang
Date: Tue May 21 2019 - 21:42:58 EST


In alloc_tty_struct(), tty->dev is assigned by tty_get_device(). And it
calls class_find_device(). And class_find_device() may return NULL.
And tty->dev is dereferenced in the following codes. When
tty_get_device() returns NULL, dereferencing this tty->dev null pointer
may cause the kernel go wrong. Thus we should check tty->dev.
Further, if tty_get_device() returns NULL, we should free tty and
return NULL.
