[PATCH] staging: r8822be: check kzalloc return or bail

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Fri Feb 15 2019 - 04:29:24 EST


The kzalloc() in halmac_parse_psd_data_88xx() can fail and return NULL
so check the psd_set->data after allocation and if allocation failed
return HALMAC_CMD_PROCESS_ERROR.

Problem was located with an experimental coccinelle script

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig + STAGING=y,
R8822BE=m
(with a smatch error that looks like a false-positive

CC [M] drivers/staging/rtlwifi/halmac/halmac_88xx/halmac_func_88xx.o

as the initialization of pg_efuse_header2 is under the same if condition (line 592) as the
use at line 624 it is initialized)

Patch is agaisnt 5.0-rc6 (localversion-next is next-20190215)
