Subject: [patch] nl80211: nl80211hdr_put() doesn't return an ERR_PTR
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2013 11:50:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130814115001.GB8044@elgon.mountain> (raw)
There are a few places which check nl80211hdr_put() for an ERR_PTR
but actually it returns NULL on error and never error values. In
nl80211_testmode_dump() the return wasn't checked at all so I have added
one.

This is static checker stuff and I don't know the code well. I was
especially not sure if I got the check right in nl80211_testmode_dump().
Please review that bit carefully.
