Subject: slub: fix possible NULL pointer dereference
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=62e5c4b4d6351707346695fd9e151b6cda85cbe1;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

slub: fix possible NULL pointer dereference

This patch fix possible NULL pointer dereference if kzalloc
failed. To be able to return proper error code the function
return type is changed to ssize_t (according to callees and
sysfs definitions).
