Subject: [PATCH v3] lkdtm/bugs: Check for the NULL pointer after calling kmalloc
Date:   Thu, 20 Jan 2022 09:25:51 +0800
Message-Id: <20220120012552.1851621-1-jiasheng@iscas.ac.cn>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Precedence: bulk

As the possible failure of the kmalloc(), the not_checked and checked
could be NULL pointer.
Therefore, it should be better to check it in order to avoid the
dereference of the NULL pointer.
Also, we need to explicitly yell about the memory failure and then
kfree the 'not_checked' and 'checked' to avoid the memory leak if fails.
And since it is just a test, it may directly return without error
number.
