From 95f2fe0aae2bd40038bd3abec1cfc3dcf447406b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YueHaibing Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2022 19:22:04 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: Fix uninitialized variable bug in outlen_write() [ Upstream commit 3f5769a074c13d8f08455e40586600419e02a880 ] If sscanf() return 0, outlen is uninitialized and used in kzalloc(), this is unexpected. We should return -EINVAL if the string is invalid.
