Subject: Patch: minor nit in ip_options_compile()
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 19:56:50 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200303211956.50921.niv@us.ibm.com> (raw)

In the following else clause, we check for opt->is_data, which 
should always be set for this case, and if not, current code will
lead to a null ptr dereference because skb is always null in 
this case..

Figured its better to fall down to returning EINVAL..
Look reasonable? 

thanks,
Nivedita
