[PATCH 1/5] nl80211: always check nla_nest_start() return value

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

If the message got full during nla_nest_start(), it can return
NULL. None of the cases here seem like that can really happen,
but check the return value nonetheless.
