Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/msm/dpu: check for null return of devm_kzalloc() in dpu_writeback_init()<br />
<br />
Because of the possilble failure of devm_kzalloc(), dpu_wb_conn might<br />
be NULL and will cause null pointer dereference later.<br />
<br />
Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM.<br />
