From d3337de52af7fb0ebe605b02b740be4ee7dee9eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:57:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Don't potentially dereference NULL in net/dcb/dcbnl.c:dcbnl_getapp() nla_nest_start() may return NULL. If it does then we'll blow up in nla_nest_end() when we dereference the pointer. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: David S.
