From 3dd0f18c70d94ca2432c78c5735744429f071b0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Yongjun Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018 13:28:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] EVM: fix return value check in evm_write_xattrs() In case of error, the function audit_log_start() returns NULL pointer not ERR_PTR(). The IS_ERR() test in the return value check should be replaced with NULL test.
