[PATCH] net: sched: gred: potential dereference of null pointer

From: Jiasheng Jiang
Date: Wed Dec 08 2021 - 21:14:25 EST


The return value of kzalloc() needs to be checked.
To avoid use of null pointer in gred_change_vq() in case
of the failure of alloc.

Fixes: 869aa41044b0 ("sch_gred: prefer GFP_KERNEL allocations")
