[PATCH net-next v4 3/3] net: mac80211: check return value of rhashtable_init

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When rhashtable_init() fails, it returns -EINVAL.
However, since error return value of rhashtable_init is not checked,
it can cause use of uninitialized pointers.
So, fix unhandled errors of rhashtable_init.
