Hi,
In drivers/isdn/hisax/isdnl2.c:l2_pull_iqueue() we have this:
...
skb = alloc_skb(oskb->len + i, GFP_ATOMIC);
memcpy(skb_put(skb, i), header, i);
...
If alloc_skb() fails and returns NULL then the second line will cause a
NULL pointer dereference - skb_put() gives the pointer to
skb_tail_pointer() which dereferences it.
I'm not quite sure how this should be dealt with, so I'll just report it
rather than submit a patch. Happy bug fixing :-)

Thanks Jesper, I'll fix this like so:
--------------------
hisax: Fix unchecked alloc_skb() return.
Jesper Juhl noticed that l2_pull_iqueue() does not
check to see if alloc_skb() fails.
Fix this by first trying to reallocate the headroom
if necessary, rather than later after we've made hard
to undo state changes.

That struck me as an funny way to write 2 * len, so I finally looked
at the code. I think one of those should be FLG_MOD128, but then
at that point why not use the existing l2headersize(l2, ui) with
ui = 0?
I see this is in linux-next of Feb 15, 2011.

Good catch, thanks. I'll fix this.
