Subject: [PATCH v6 1/6] optee: ffa: Add NULL check in optee_ffa_lend_protmem

From: Mostafa Saleh <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 15:02:31 +0000

Sashiko (locally) reports a possible null dereference under memory
pressure due to the lack of validation of the allocated pointer.

Fix that by adding the missing check.

Fixes: 2b78d79cdf96 ("optee: FF-A: dynamic protected memory allocation")
