Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: ccp - Check for page allocation failure correctly in TIO

Sashiko notes:

> if __snp_alloc_firmware_pages() returns NULL under memory pressure, is it > safe to pass it directly to page_address()? > > On architectures without HASHED_PAGE_VIRTUAL, page_address(NULL) might > compute a deterministic but invalid, non-zero virtual address.

Indeed, page_address(NULL) will return non-NULL garbage here. Fix this by checking the page allocation itself for NULL, not the resulting virtual address.
