Subject: ipv6: move dereference after check in fl_free()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=898132ae76d1aeb52301f10e8795c34fbb54e853;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

ipv6: move dereference after check in fl_free()

There is a dereference before checking for NULL bug here.  Generally
free() functions should accept NULL pointers.  For example, fl_create()
can pass a NULL pointer to fl_free() on the error path.
