Make sure we return early from the handle lookup function in these cases. Signed-off-by: Mattia Dongili --- Hi Matthew, if it's not too late, can you pick this one up instead of the previous one (89ec2feafaedd759e53346d641f60863a14cfb9e)? If it's too late I'll try and do a round of return value fixes later. diff --git a/drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.c b/drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.c index b2ce172..de79c18 100644 --- a/drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.c +++ b/drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.c @@ -810,6 +810,11 @@ static int sony_nc_handles_cleanup(struct platform_device *pd) static int sony_find_snc_handle(int handle) { int i; + + /* not initialized yet, return early */ + if (!handles) + return -EINVAL; + for (i = 0; i < 0x10; i++) { if (handles->cap[i] == handle) { dprintk("found handle 0x%.4x (offset: 0x%.2x)\n", -- mattia :wq! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
