[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.8 05/68] batman-adv: Improve exception handling in batadv_throw_uevent()

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Fri Mar 29 2024 - 08:28:53 EST


From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5593e9abf1cf2bf096366d8c7fd933bc69d561ce ]

The kfree() function was called in up to three cases by
the batadv_throw_uevent() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Thus adjust jump targets.

* Reorder kfree() calls at the end.
