From: Sergey Senozhatsky Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2015 22:00:56 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm/dmapool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in dma_pool_destroy() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=44d7175da6ea10e353e69b586bb68bbfef89e403;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm/dmapool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in dma_pool_destroy() dma_pool_destroy() does not tolerate a NULL dma_pool pointer argument and performs a NULL-pointer dereference. This requires additional attention and effort from developers/reviewers and forces all dma_pool_destroy() callers to do a NULL check if (pool) dma_pool_destroy(pool); Or, otherwise, be invalid dma_pool_destroy() users. Tweak dma_pool_destroy() and NULL-check the pointer there. Proposed by Andrew Morton.
