gcc-7 detects that wlanhdr_to_ethhdr() in two drivers calls memcpy() with a destination argument that an earlier function call may have set to NULL: staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_recv.c: In function 'wlanhdr_to_ethhdr': staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_recv.c:1318:2: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull] staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_recv.c: In function 'r8712_wlanhdr_to_ethhdr': staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_recv.c:649:2: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull] I'm fixing this by adding a NULL pointer check and returning failure from the function, which is hopefully already handled properly. This seems to date back to when the drivers were originally added, so backporting the fix to stable seems appropriate. There are other related realtek drivers in the kernel, but none of them contain a function with a similar name or produce this warning.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
