Hello,
In sas_smp_get_phy_events() we never test if the call to
alloc_smp_req(RPEL_REQ_SIZE) succeeds or fails. That means we run
the risk of dereferencing a NULL pointer if it does fail. Far
better to test if we got NULL back and in that case return -ENOMEM
just as we already do for the other memory allocation in that
function.
This patch reworks the memory allocation a bit to deal with it
(compile tested only).
