From 6ade20327dbb808882888ed8ccded71e93067cf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liviu Dudau Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2019 15:42:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc.c: don't dereference possible NULL pointer in __vunmap() find_vmap_area() can return a NULL pointer and we're going to dereference it without checking it first. Use the existing find_vm_area() function which does exactly what we want and checks for the NULL pointer.
