Since the commit mentioned below __xdp_reg_mem_model() can return a NULL
pointer. This pointer is dereferenced in trace_mem_connect() which leads
to segfault.

The trace points (mem_connect + mem_disconnect) were put in place to
pair connect/disconnect using the IDs. The ID is only assigned if
__xdp_reg_mem_model() does not return NULL. That connect trace point is
of no use if there is no ID.

Skip that connect trace point if xdp_alloc is NULL.

[ Toke Høiland-Jørgensen delivered the reasoning for skipping the trace
  point ]

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.
