Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: rtl8188eu: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference of kcalloc
Date:   Wed, 20 Mar 2019 12:21:35 -0500
Message-Id: <20190320172142.1305-1-pakki001@umn.edu>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

hwxmits is allocated via kcalloc and not checked for failure before its
dereference. The patch fixes this problem by returning error upstream
in rtl8723bs, rtl8188eu.

Signed-off-by: Aditya Pakki <pakki001@umn.edu>

v2: Move signed off above version change log.
v1: Return error and remove print in case of failure, per Greg
