[PATCH][next] RDMA: check for null return from call to ib_get_client_data

From: Colin King
Date: Thu Jun 20 2019 - 09:56:14 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The return from ib_get_client_data can potentially be null, so add a null
check on umad_dev and return -ENODEV in this unlikely case to avoid any
null pointer deferences.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: 8f71bb0030b8 ("RDMA: Report available cdevs through RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_GET_CHARDEV")
