From bc1e49df345cf9be38ba29ead45a12f86ceb5fe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Insu Yun Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 12:19:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / sysfs: correctly check failing memory allocation Since kobject_create_and_add() can fail under memory pressure, its return value needs to be checked against NULL before passing it to sysfs_create_file().
