Message-Id: <20190206020424.12225-8-jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2019 18:04:17 -0800 From: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@...el.com> To: davem@...emloft.net Cc: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@...el.com>, netdev@...r.kernel.org, nhorman@...hat.com, sassmann@...hat.com, Sasha Neftin <sasha.neftin@...el.com>, Kangjie Lu <kjlu@....edu>, Aaron Brown <aaron.f.brown@...el.com> Subject: [net-next 07/14] e1000e: fix a missing check for return value The change is based on the issue found by Kangjie Lu <kjlu@....edu> where we not checking the return value of a register read/write which could result in a NULL pointer dereference if the read/write fails. Since we are only trying to disable the far-end loopback, if the read and write of register fails, we do not want to bail out of the function. We just want to log that it failed to disable and continue on.
