#1718441 — [PATCH] staging: r8822be: fix null pointer dereference with a null driver_adapter

FromColin King <colin.king@canonical.com>
Date2017-08-23 17:10 +0200
Subject[PATCH] staging: r8822be: fix null pointer dereference with a null driver_adapter
Message-ID<uhFs7-28I-45@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The call to _rtl_dbg_trace via macro HALMAC_RT_TRACE will trigger a null
pointer deference on the null driver_adapter.  Fix this by assigning
driver_adapter earlier to halmac_adapter->driver_adapter before the tracing
call so that a non-null driver_adapter is passed instead.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1454613 ("Explicit null dereferenced")

Fixes: 938a0447f094 ("staging: r8822be: Add code for halmac sub-driver")
