refperf: Avoid null pointer dereference when buf fails to allocate
Currently in the unlikely event that buf fails to be allocated it is dereferenced a few times. Use the errexit flag to determine if buf should be written to to avoid the null pointer dereferences. Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check") Fixes: f518f154ecef ("refperf: Dynamically allocate experiment-summary output buffer") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
