From 4a54903ff68ddb33b6463c94b4eb37fc584ef760 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shannon Nelson Date: Tue, 2 May 2023 11:35:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ionic: catch failure from devlink_alloc Add a check for NULL on the alloc return. If devlink_alloc() fails and we try to use devlink_priv() on the NULL return, the kernel gets very unhappy and panics. With this fix, the driver load will still fail, but at least it won't panic the kernel.
