From ff128fbea720bf763fa345680dda5f050bc24a47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergey Shtylyov Date: Sat, 21 May 2022 23:34:10 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo() [ Upstream commit bf476fe22aa1851bab4728e0c49025a6a0bea307 ] In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer, there's going to be a kernel oops as the 'pi' local variable won't get reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to '&ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good... Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static analysis tool.
