From 93dd0a097859a174817ea94ec55bfc29c5706454 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tadeusz Struk Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 07:51:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] IB/hfi1: Fix potential NULL ptr dereference This fixes potential NULL ptr dereference because IS_ERR(dd) doesn't handle NULL. Fix the issue by initializing the pointer with a not NULL error code.
