From 21edbb223ed2af88b090e7945af7d91d672e3aa6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:29:54 +0000 Subject: NET: netpoll, fix potential NULL ptr dereference Stanse found that one error path in netpoll_setup dereferences npinfo even though it is NULL. Avoid that by adding new label and go to that instead. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: Daniel Borkmann Cc: David S. Miller Acked-by: chavey@google.com Acked-by: Matt Mackall Signed-off-by: David S.
