From e90c7e712980bf794f88f749e2a1270e4a4a116e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Santosh Nayak Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:42:41 +0530 Subject: net: orinoco: add error handling for failed kmalloc(). With flag 'GFP_ATOMIC', probability of allocation failure is more. Add error handling after kmalloc() call to avoid null dereference. Signed-off-by: Santosh Nayak Signed-off-by: John W.
