Hi Charles,

As this is a fix for Networking code it should be explicitly targeted
at the net tree like this:

While I agree this error should be checked, I don't think this error
handling is correct and will lead to leaked resources. Looking
over this function I think you want (completely untested!):

	if (!common->ale_context) {
		ret = -ENOMEM;
		goto err_of_clear;
	}
