From 3208795e612406df04a32b46eb5ea5fccfa51d69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Selvan Mani Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2012 06:03:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mtip32xx: fix potential crash on SEC_ERASE_UNIT The mtip driver lifted this code from elsewhere and then added a special handling check for SEC_ERASE_UNIT. If the caller tries to do a security erase but passes no output data for the command then outbuf is not allocated and the driver duly explodes.
