From 5756f757c72501ef1a16f5f63f940623044180e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2021 12:06:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: Fix potential null dereference on pointer status [ Upstream commit 28ac8e03c43dfc6a703aa420d18222540b801120 ] There are calls to idxd_cmd_exec that pass a null status pointer however a recent commit has added an assignment to *status that can end up with a null pointer dereference. The function expects a null status pointer sometimes as there is a later assignment to *status where status is first null checked. Fix the issue by null checking status before making the assignment.
