Caller of vmware_hypercall_slow() can pass NULL into *out1,
*out2,... *out5. It will lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
Check a pointer for NULL before assigning a value.

I queue your patches and *now* you find this?!
How did you test them in the first place and why was this scenario missed?
Geez.

My test environment was screwed up during the last version of the patchset. I was using a kernel which was built previously and didn't pay attention to commit hash suffix in `uname -r`. Human mistake, apologize for that. Alex found it while doing TDX testing on x86/vmware on tip. Do you want me to resubmit the patchset to do not brake a git bisect?

Ok, no worries, happens.

Nah, I'll fold it into the broken patch and rebase.
Btw, pls do me a favor and do not top-post but put your reply underneath the
quoted text, like we all do.
Thx.
