SubjectRe: [PATCH] In function nvkm_ioctl_map(), the variable "type" could be uninitialized if "nvkm_object_map()" returns error code, however, it does not check the return value and directly use the "type" in the if statement, which is potentially unsafe.
Hi Lyude:
I appreciate your feedback and I misplaced the commit message to the
title, I have modified it and resend the patch.
I made my linux development tree a mess, so I sent a brandly new one
and cc you. Thanks again for your help: )
