From 5e4cf2bf6d1c198a90ccc0df5ffd8e0d4ea36b48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2018 14:37:36 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix a potential NULL dereference We forgot to set the error code on this path so we return ERR_PTR(0) which is NULL. It results in a NULL dereference in the caller.
