[ Upstream commitc7b607fa93] Currently if opening /dev/null fails to open then file pointer fp is null and further access to fp via fprintf will cause a null pointer dereference. Fix this by returning a negative error value when a null fp is detected. Detected using cppcheck static analysis: tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/fill_buf.c:124:6: note: Assuming that condition '!fp' is not redundant if (!fp) ^ tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/fill_buf.c:126:10: note: Null pointer dereference fprintf(fp, "Sum: %d ", ret); Fixes:a2561b12fe("selftests/resctrl: Add built in benchmark") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.i.king@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
