Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/msm/a6xx: move preempt_prepare_postamble after error check<br />
<br />
Move the call to preempt_prepare_postamble() after verifying that<br />
preempt_postamble_ptr is valid. If preempt_postamble_ptr is NULL,<br />
dereferencing it in preempt_prepare_postamble() would lead to a crash.<br />
<br />
This change avoids calling the preparation function when the<br />
postamble allocation has failed, preventing potential NULL pointer<br />
dereference and ensuring proper error handling.<br />
