Subject: [PATCH v2] vt: Fix a missing-check bug in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c
Message-ID: <20190521022940.GA4858@zhanggen-UX430UQ>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Precedence: bulk

In function con_init(), the pointer variable vc_cons[currcons].d, vc and
vc->vc_screenbuf is allocated a memory space via kzalloc(). And they are
used in the following codes.
However, when there is a memory allocation error, kzalloc() can fail.
Thus null pointer (vc_cons[currcons].d, vc and vc->vc_screenbuf)
dereference may happen. And it will cause the kernel to crash. Therefore,
we should check return value and handle the error.
Further,the loop condition MIN_NR_CONSOLES is defined as 1 in
include/uapi/linux/vt.h. So there is no need to unwind the loop.
