[PATCH][next] media: ispstat: don't dereference user_cfg before a null check

From: Colin King
Date: Tue Apr 24 2018 - 09:06:42 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The pointer user_cfg (a copy of new_conf) is dereference before
new_conf is null checked, hence we may have a null pointer dereference
on user_cfg when assigning buf_size from user_cfg->buf_size. Ensure
this does not occur by moving the assignment of buf_size after the
null check.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1468386 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: 68e342b3068c ("[media] omap3isp: Statistics")
