Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ionic: catch failure from devlink_alloc<br /> <br /> Add a check for NULL on the alloc return. If devlink_alloc() fails and<br /> we try to use devlink_priv() on the NULL return, the kernel gets very<br /> unhappy and panics. With this fix, the driver load will still fail,<br /> but at least it won&amp;#39;t panic the kernel.
