From 016ede1a94fbd90c2a24a82599859f9e46e3c298 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sachin Kamat Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 15:27:13 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: ofpart: Fix incorrect NULL check in parse_ofoldpart_partitions() commit 5a6ea4af0907f995dc06df21a9c9ef764c7cd3bc upstream. The pointer returned by kzalloc should be tested for NULL to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference later. Incorrect pointer was being tested for NULL. Bug introduced by commit fbcf62a3 (mtd: physmap_of: move parse_obsolete_partitions to become separate parser). This patch fixes this bug.
