Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2006 14:51:22 -0500 From: Florin Malita <fmalita@...il.com> To: mhalcrow@...ibm.com, phillip@...lewell.homeip.net CC: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org> Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs: bad allocation result check The kmalloc() result in* *ecryptfs_crypto_api_algify_cipher_name() is assigned to an indirectly referenced pointer and not to the pointer itself, so the current result check is incorrect.
