Subject: uml: improved error handling while locating temp dir
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~53
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=11a7ac23a2d7464a74ceb7b97dbae4d5a0208576;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

uml: improved error handling while locating temp dir

* arch/um/os-Linux/mem.c (make_tempfile): Don't deref NULL upon failed malloc.

* arch/um/os-Linux/mem.c (make_tempfile): Handle NULL tempdir.
Don't let a long tempdir (e.g., via TMPDIR) provoke heap corruption.
