[PATCH] SiS DRM: Fix possible NULL dereference
This fixes a NULL pointer reference in DRM. The SiS driver tries to allocate a big chunk of memory, but the return value is never checked. Reported in Novell bugzilla #132271: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=132271 Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
