This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mtd: ofpart: Fix incorrect NULL check in to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From d1e2d090290f5740e9a1292249a463ff84ae9c11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sachin Kamat <sachin.kamat@linaro.org> Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 15:27:13 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: ofpart: Fix incorrect NULL check in parse_ofoldpart_partitions() commit 5a6ea4af0907f995dc06df21a9c9ef764c7cd3bc upstream. The pointer returned by kzalloc should be tested for NULL to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference later. Incorrect pointer was being tested for NULL. Bug introduced by commit fbcf62a3 (mtd: physmap_of: move parse_obsolete_partitions to become separate parser). This patch fixes this bug.
