From ff3416fb5b02cfae94591ef4395b0b4dc793f25e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Kleine-Budde Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 10:22:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] can: dev: make can_change_state() robust to be called with cf == NULL In OOM situations where no skb can be allocated, can_change_state() may be called with cf == NULL. As this function updates the state and error statistics it's not an option to skip the call to can_change_state() in OOM situations. This patch makes can_change_state() robust, so that it can be called with cf == NULL.
