    Subject[PATCH 4.9 229/264] ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo()
    Date
    From: Sergey Shtylyov <s.shtylyov@omp.ru>

    [ Upstream commit bf476fe22aa1851bab4728e0c49025a6a0bea307 ]

    In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of
    ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer,
    there's going to be a kernel oops as the 'pi' local variable won't get
    reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to
    '&ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good...

    Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
    analysis tool.
