SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] net: qrtr: fix null pointer dereference in qrtr_ns_remove
From
Date
Hi Markus,

I'd like to take some of your advice in this patch, but I noticed that
this one has been applied.

Some of your advice would be considered kindly on my future work.

Thanks.

This advice is too detailed for 'null-ptr-deref' is known as a general
phrase like 'use-after-free' for kernel developer, I think.>

It's an acceptable advice, thanks.

Sorry, I didn't get your words.

'Fix it by' follows the solution
'Fixes' follows the commit which brought the problem.

In fact, I do considered using 'Fixes' on this one, but it's hard to
tell which specific commit brought this null pointer dereference.

In fact, The reason I use 'err_sock' rather than 'unregister_sock' is to
keep same in 'net/qrtr/ns.c'.

I agree with you that “unregister_sock” is better in normal case.
