From a50bb7b9af9a7c39b2aba15678eb686ae428718c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Tue, 9 May 2006 23:14:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [TG3]: Fix possible NULL deref in tg3_run_loopback(). tg3_run_loopback doesn't check that dev_alloc_skb() returns anything useful. Even if dev_alloc_skb() fails to return an skb to us we'll happily go on and assume it did, so we risk dereferencing a NULL pointer. Much better to fail gracefully by returning -ENOMEM than crashing here. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: David S.
