Subject: memcg: null dereference on allocation failure
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;ds=sidebyside;h=d2e61b8dc99fdb36e0fd176e25365f69afda4ff9;p=mv-sheeva.git

memcg: null dereference on allocation failure

The original code had a null dereference if alloc_percpu() failed.  This
was introduced in commit 711d3d2c9bc3 ("memcg: cpu hotplug aware percpu
count updates")
