Zqiang 62c789270c libnvdimm: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds Read in internal_create_group
Because the last member of the "nvdimm_firmware_attributes" array
was not assigned a null ptr, when traversal of "grp->attrs" array
is out of bounds in "create_files" func.

func:
	create_files:
		->for (i = 0, attr = grp->attrs; *attr && !error; i++, attr++)
			->....

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.
