can: skb: alloc_can{,fd}_skb(): set "cf" to NULL if skb allocation fails
The handling of CAN bus errors typically consist of allocating a CAN error SKB using alloc_can_err_skb() followed by stats handling and filling the error details in the newly allocated CAN error SKB. Even if the allocation of the SKB fails the stats handling should not be skipped. The common pattern in CAN drivers is to allocate the skb and work on the struct can_frame pointer "cf", if it has been assigned by alloc_can_err_skb(). | skb = alloc_can_err_skb(priv->ndev, &cf); | | /* RX errors */ | if (bdiag1 & (MCP251XFD_REG_BDIAG1_DCRCERR | | MCP251XFD_REG_BDIAG1_NCRCERR)) { | netdev_dbg(priv->ndev, "CRC error\n"); | | stats->rx_errors++; | if (cf) | cf->data[3] |= CAN_ERR_PROT_LOC_CRC_SEQ; | } In case of an OOM alloc_can_err_skb() returns NULL, but doesn't set "cf" to NULL as well. For the above pattern to work the "cf" has to be initialized to NULL, which is easily forgotten. To solve this kind of problems, set "cf" to NULL if alloc_can_err_skb() returns NULL.
