Subject: [PATCH net-next] net/dns_resolver: consolidate namelen checks in dns_query
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 11:54:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525095400.821912-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

Consolidate the namelen checks and return -EINVAL early if needed. Drop
the namelen == 0 check since it is covered by namelen < 3.
