From: Pan Bian Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2016 15:11:42 +0000 (+0800) Subject: drm/qxl: fix use of uninitialized variable X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=16571a8a435abf73cde769918850ca76a471f14c;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git drm/qxl: fix use of uninitialized variable In function qxl_release_alloc(), when kmalloc() returns a NULL pointer, it returns value 0 and parameter *ret is uninitialized. 0 means no error to the callers of qxl_release_alloc(). The callers keep going and will try to reference the uninitialized variable. This patch fixes the bug, returning "-ENOMEM" when kmalloc() fails.
