Subject: ethtool: __ethtool_set_sg: check for function pointer before using it
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5e5069b41d5b82bcadc1dbf73f48476b428c102f;p=linux-beck.git

ethtool: __ethtool_set_sg: check for function pointer before using it

__ethtool_set_sg does not check if dev->ethtool_ops->set_sg is defined
which can result in a NULL pointer dereference when ethtool is used to
change SG settings for drivers without SG support.
