Subject: [PATCH net 07/10] ethtool: tsinfo: don't pass ERR_PTR to genlmsg_cancel on prepare failure
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 08:35:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260526153533.2779187-8-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260526153533.2779187-1-kuba@kernel.org>

The goto err label leads to:

	genlmsg_cancel(skb, ehdr);
	return ret;

If ethnl_tsinfo_prepare_dump() failed, it has not started a genlmsg.
There's nothing to cancel, and passing an error pointer to
genlmsg_cancel() would cause a crash.

Fixes: b9e3f7dc9ed9 ("net: ethtool: tsinfo: Enhance tsinfo to support several hwtstamp by net topology")
