Subject: [PATCH 03/18] backport: check for failure when allocating ops in genetlink
Date: Mon,  1 Jul 2019 23:48:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190701214914.8066-4-hauke@hauke-m.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190701214914.8066-1-hauke@hauke-m.de>

From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

We were not checking if the allocation failed in
backport_genl_register_family(), which could lead to NULL pointer
dereferences later.  Fix that.
