[PATCH net] net: hso: fix NULL-deref on tty registration failure
From: Johan Hovold
Date: Mon Apr 26 2021 - 05:46:07 EST
If resource allocation and registration fail for a muxed tty device
(e.g. if there are no more minor numbers) the driver should not try to
deregister the never-registered tty.
Fix up the error handling to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer when
attempting to remove the character device:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000064
[...]
RIP: 0010:cdev_del+0x4/0x20
[...]
Call Trace:
tty_unregister_device+0x34/0x50
hso_probe+0x1d1/0x57e [hso]
Fixes: 72dc1c096c70 ("HSO: add option hso driver")
