From 5e34fa23ced16f03fe163d3f31fddcae91c3f2fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ahmad Fatoum Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2017 21:28:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix minor code bug in timestamping.txt Passing (void*)val instead of &val would make a pointer out of an integer and cause sock_setsockopt to -EFAULT. See tools/testing/selftests/networking/timestamping/timestamping.c for a working example. Cc: David S. Miller Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ahmad Fatoum Signed-off-by: David S.
