From 82464e63a0653a4d8e5c684fcb41b163e6357c6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florin Malita Date: Sun, 21 May 2006 14:04:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] orinoco: possible null pointer dereference in orinoco_rx_monitor() If the skb allocation fails, the current error path calls dev_kfree_skb_irq() with a NULL argument. Also, 'err' is not being used. Coverity CID: 275. Signed-off-by: Florin Malita Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: John W.
