From f840e23bcf16068eeffe8991ac38b58b82160e43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lee Jones Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 08:44:50 +0100 Subject: mfd: ab8500-debugfs: Apply a check for -ENOMEM after allocating memory for sysfs The AB8500 debugfs driver allocates memory for a new sysfs entry, but fails to apply the proper post-allocation checks. If the device were to run out of memory, the allocation would return NULL. Without the correct checks the driver will continue to populate NULL->[show|store|...], which would obviously cause a pointer dereference Oops.
