[PATCH 1/1] mtd: ubi: fix improper return value

From: Pan Bian
Date: Sun Dec 04 2016 - 01:16:16 EST


From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx>

When __vmalloc() returns a NULL pointer, the region is not checked, and
we cannot make sure that only 0xFF bytes are present at offset. Thus,
returning 0 seems improper.
