Subject: [PATCH 2/2] livepatch: handle kzalloc failure
Date:   Thu, 13 Dec 2018 12:09:50 +0100
Message-Id: <1544699390-15673-2-git-send-email-hofrat@osadl.org>
In-Reply-To: <1544699390-15673-1-git-send-email-hofrat@osadl.org>

Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

kzalloc() return should be checked. On dummy_alloc() failing
in kzalloc() NULL should be returned.

Problem was located with an experimental coccinelle script

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig + FTRACE=y
FUNCTION_TRACER=y, EXPERT=y, LATENCYTOP=y, SAMPLES=y, SAMPLE_LIVEPATCH=y
(with a number of unrelated sparse warnings on symbols not being static)

Patch is against 4.20-rc6 (localversion-next is next-20181213)
