Subject: ip: fix error handling in ip_finish_output2()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9871f1ad677d95ffeca80e2c21b70af9bfc9cc91;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

ip: fix error handling in ip_finish_output2()

__neigh_create() returns either a pointer to struct neighbour or PTR_ERR().
But the caller expects it to return either a pointer or NULL.  Replace
the NULL check with IS_ERR() check.

The bug was introduced in a263b3093641fb1ec377582c90986a7fd0625184
("ipv4: Make neigh lookups directly in output packet path.").
