From 310ee9e8f370f8fd7a76856726aea88839bb0f8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 14:36:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] lib/genalloc.c: check result of devres_alloc() devm_gen_pool_create() calls devres_alloc() and dereferences its result without checking whether devres_alloc() succeeded. Check for error and bail out if it happened. Coverity-id 1016493.
