A null-ptr-deref bug is reported by Hulk Robot like this: -------------- KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000128-0x000000000000012f] Call Trace: qrtr_ns_remove+0x22/0x40 [ns] qrtr_proto_fini+0xa/0x31 [qrtr] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x337/0x4e0 do_syscall_64+0x34/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x468ded -------------- When qrtr_ns_init fails in qrtr_proto_init, qrtr_ns_remove which would be called later on would raise a null-ptr-deref because qrtr_ns.workqueue has been destroyed. Fix it by making qrtr_ns_init have a return value and adding a check in qrtr_proto_init.

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.
