From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2017 10:29:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH net] net/act_pedit: fix an error code Message-Id: <20170614102930.GH29394@elgon.mountain> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Jamal Hadi Salim , Amir Vadai Cc: Cong Wang , Jiri Pirko , "David S. Miller" , netdev@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org I'm reviewing static checker warnings where we do ERR_PTR(0), which is the same as NULL. I'm pretty sure we intended to return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) here. Sometimes these bugs lead to a NULL dereference but I don't immediately see that problem here.
