Subject: [PATCH][next] cxl/core: Fix a deference of a pointer cxl_port before it is null checked
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2021 18:15:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210829171553.532596-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The assignment of pointer port with a dereference of pointer cxl_port
occurs before cxl_port is null checked. Fix this by only assigning port
once cxl_port has been null checked.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: b7ca54b62551 ("cxl/core: Split decoder setup into alloc + add")
