[ Upstream commit 1315848f1f8a0100cb6f8a7187bc320c5d98947f ] The kfree() function was called in one case by the get_filename() function during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Thus return directly after a call of the function “kzalloc” failed at the beginning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
