From 2ff124d597c2df8696169ce0006fc974c49a4569 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael J. Ruhl" Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2018 12:31:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] IB/core: Avoid a potential OOPs for an unused optional parameter The ev_file is an optional parameter for CQ creation. If the parameter is not passed, the ev_file pointer will be NULL. Using that pointer to set the cq_context will result in an OOPs. Verify that ev_file is not NULL before using.
