3.16.66-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Paolo Abeni <[email protected]> commit 225d9464268599a5b4d094d02ec17808e44c7553 upstream. In the unlikely event that the kmalloc call in vmci_transport_socket_init() fails, we end-up calling vmci_transport_destruct() with a NULL vmci_trans() and oopsing. This change addresses the above explicitly checking for zero vmci_trans() at destruction time.
