From 94cb1503c799c0197e7ef5bad606fee5c84b99d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Bunk Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:28:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4/fib_hash.c: fix NULL dereference Unless I miss a guaranteed relation between between "f" and "new_fa->fa_info" this patch is required for fixing a NULL dereference introduced by commit a6501e080c318f8d4467679d17807f42b3a33cd5 ("[IPV4] FIB_HASH: Reduce memory needs and speedup lookups") and spotted by the Coverity checker. Eric Dumazet says: Hum, you are right, kmem_cache_free() doesnt allow a NULL object, like kfree() does. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: David S.
