[PATCH] ACPI: APEI: EINJ: fix potential NULL dereference in __einj_error_inject
From: Charles Han
Date: Thu Aug 14 2025 - 22:47:17 EST
The __einj_error_inject() function allocates memory via kmalloc()
without checking for allocation failure, which could lead to a
NULL pointer dereference.
Return -ENOMEM in case allocation fails.
Fixes: b47610296d17 ("ACPI: APEI: EINJ: Enable EINJv2 error injections")
