I ran coccicheck on a 4.14.74 stable kernel and noticed that 'res' can be NULL in vpfe_ipipe_init. It looks like this patch is not included in the 4.14 stable series. Can this patch be applied? I applied it myself and it applies cleanly, but I have no way to test it. That 'res->start' error_release could end up a NULL pointer deref. - Joel _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
