The function xt_find_table_lock defined in net/netfilter/x_tables.c is preceeded by a comment that says that it returns ERR_PTR() on error. But looking at the definition, I only see occurrences of return NULL and returns of pointers that have previously been dereferenced. Is it the code or the documentation that is incorrect? The call sites seem to be using IS_ERR_OR_NULL. Is there a plan to return ERR_PTR values in the future? julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
