Linux kernel source tree

vmw_context_cotable can return either an error or a null pointer and its
usage sometimes went unchecked. Subsequent code would then try to access
either a null pointer or an error value.
The invalid dereferences were only possible with malformed userspace
apps which never properly initialized the rendering contexts.
Check the results of vmw_context_cotable to fix the invalid derefs.

who was the first person to discover it.
Niels De Graef who reported it and helped to track down the poc.

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.
