From 7fa322c878d70e38675f50e17acdce7fa3f5ac8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 11:16:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: check nla_nest_start() return value Coverity pointed out that we might dereference NULL later if nla_nest_start() returns a failure. This isn't really true since we'd bomb out before, but we should check the return value directly, so do that.
