Subject: [PATCH] ip: fix error handling in ip_finish_output2()
Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2012 17:55:29 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120806135529.GA30699@albatros> (raw)
__neigh_create() returns either a pointer to struct neighbour or PTR_ERR().
But the caller expects it to return either a pointer or NULL. Replace
the NULL check with IS_ERR() check.
The bug was introduced in a263b3093641fb1ec377582c90986a7fd0625184.
