From 201a52bea928687b7557728b176ac4f8a37d5cbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Tue, 15 May 2012 11:47:47 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] hvc_xen: NULL dereference on allocation failure If kzalloc() returns a NULL here, we pass a NULL to xencons_disconnect_backend() which will cause an Oops. Also I removed the __GFP_ZERO while I was at it since kzalloc() implies __GFP_ZERO.
