Subject: [PATCH 2/3] net/mlx5e: Clean up error handling in mlx5e_alloc_flow()
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2020 12:32:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200927113254.362480-2-alex.dewar90@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200927113254.362480-1-alex.dewar90@gmail.com>

The variable flow is used after being allocated but before being
null-checked, which will cause a null pointer dereference if the
allocation failed. Fix this and tidy up the error-checking logic in this
function.

Addresses-Coverity: CID 1497154: Null pointer dereferences (REVERSE_INULL)
