[PATCH] iio: core: check return value when calling dev_set_name()

From: Yang Yingliang
Date: Tue Oct 12 2021 - 02:28:50 EST


I got a null-ptr-deref report when doing fault injection test:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: 0010:strlen+0x0/0x20
Call Trace:
start_creating+0x199/0x2f0
debugfs_create_dir+0x25/0x430
__iio_device_register+0x4da/0x1b40 [industrialio]
__devm_iio_device_register+0x22/0x80 [industrialio]
max1027_probe+0x639/0x860 [max1027]
spi_probe+0x183/0x210
really_probe+0x285/0xc30

If dev_set_name() fails, the dev_name() is null, check the return
value of dev_set_name() to avoid the null-ptr-deref.
