From 12c331b29c7397ac3b03584e12902990693bc248 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alok Tiwari Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2025 03:34:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] gve: add missing NULL check for gve_alloc_pending_packet() in TX DQO gve_alloc_pending_packet() can return NULL, but gve_tx_add_skb_dqo() did not check for this case before dereferencing the returned pointer. Add a missing NULL check to prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference when allocation fails. This improves robustness in low-memory scenarios.
