From 145422360a329f12f8c19ddad5edb178625966ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aditya Pakki Date: Sun, 23 Dec 2018 19:42:38 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] net/net_namespace: Check the return value of register_pernet_subsys() [ Upstream commit 0eb987c874dc93f9c9d85a6465dbde20fdd3884c ] In net_ns_init(), register_pernet_subsys() could fail while registering network namespace subsystems. The fix checks the return value and sends a panic() on failure. Signed-off-by: Aditya Pakki Reviewed-by: Kirill Tkhai Signed-off-by: David S.
