From 4ecc8c066f3cecb55807644a01435084d8ed638a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 15:38:26 +0200 Subject: drivers/net/fs_enet: remove null pointer dereference The following code appears in the function fs_init_instance in the file drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c. if (fep->ops == NULL) { printk(KERN_ERR DRV_MODULE_NAME ": %s No matching ops found (%d).\n", ndev->name, fpi->fs_no); err = -EINVAL; goto err; } This code implies that at the point of err, fep->ops can be NULL, so an extra test is needed before dereferencing this value.
