From bf3c23d171e35e6e168074a1514b0acd59cfd81a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 21:54:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Fix error reporting in sys_socketpair(). If either of the two sock_alloc_fd() calls fail, we forget to update 'err' and thus we'll erroneously return zero in these cases. Based upon a report and patch from Rich Paul, and commentary from Chuck Ebbert. Signed-off-by: David S.
