Subject: [PATCH net-next] ovpn: Fix the return value in ovpn_bind_from_sockaddr() kernel-doc
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 01:13:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911231352.12706-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
ovpn_bind_from_sockaddr() returns an ERR_PTR() on failure, never NULL,
but its kernel-doc says "NULL otherwise". Say ERR_PTR().
The wrong text came in with commit 80747caef33d ("ovpn: introduce the
ovpn_peer object").
