From e48b5e825f9c471cbcbfd934a4c2df27e9d39635 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:43:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rtc: Fix possible null pointer dereference in rtc-mpc5121.c Mark Loard pointed out: "For example, this beauty from rtc-mpc5121.c in the same update: ... rtc->rtc = rtc_device_register("mpc5200-rtc", &op->dev, &mpc5200_rtc_ops, THIS_MODULE); ... rtc->rtc->uie_unsupported = 1; // <<<< Ooops NULL pointer >>>> if (IS_ERR(rtc->rtc)) { // <<<< this needs to be earlier >>>> err = PTR_ERR(rtc->rtc); goto out_free_irq; } ..." This patch moves setting the uie_unsupported flag to after we validate the rtc->rtc pointer to resolve this.
