I know I don't take patches without any changelog text, maybe other
maintainers are more lax...

Did you read the section about how long lines should be in desc?

Looking at code, this bug happen in more places. Please fix up all locations.

I think this fix should go through the "bpf" tree.
Please read:

[PATCH] bpf: alloc_record_per_cpu Add null check after malloc

[Gaurav Singh]

The memset call is made right after malloc call. To fix this, add the null check right after malloc and then do memset.

The fix in your patch seem correct (although there are more places),
but the way you send/submit the patch is wrong.  The patch itself also
mangle whitespaces.

You can read the guide:
