[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH 5.10 0/1] i40e: Add checking for null for nlmsg_find_attr()

[Natalia Petrova]

The remark about the error code by Simon Horman <simon.horman@corigine.com> was taken into account.
Return value -ENOENT was changed to -EINVAL.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH 5.10 1/1] i40e: Add checking for null for nlmsg_find_attr()

[Natalia Petrova]

The result of nlmsg_find_attr() 'br_spec' is dereferenced in
nla_for_each_nested(), but it can take null value in nla_find() function,
which will result in an error.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Makes sense to me. Thanks.

I presume that you meant this to be targeted to the "net" tree, which 
you should indicate with the subject line:
[PATCH net ...]

as per the netdev rules published [1], and generally you don't need a 
cover letter for a single patch.

<formletter>

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.
