From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: From: Greg Kroah-Hartman To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman , stable@vger.kernel.org, "stable@vger.kernel.org, Eric Dumazet" , Ben Hutchings Subject: [PATCH 4.4 10/47] ipv4: Fix error return value in fib_convert_metrics() Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2018 20:24:34 +0200 Message-Id: <20180710182337.475654419@linuxfoundation.org> In-Reply-To: <20180710182337.047502999@linuxfoundation.org> References: <20180710182337.047502999@linuxfoundation.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ben Hutchings The validation code modified by commit 5b5e7a0de2bb ("net: metrics: add proper netlink validation") is organised differently in older kernel versions. The fib_convert_metrics() function that is modified in the backports to 4.4 and 4.9 needs to returns an error code, not a success flag.
