If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit b173a28f62cf929324a8a6adcc45adadce311d16 ] The 'name' filed in struct nf_conntrack_expect_policy{} is not a pointer, so check it is NULL or not will always return true. Even if the name is empty, slash will always be displayed like follows: # cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack_expect 297 l3proto = 2 proto=6 src=1.1.1.1 dst=2.2.2.2 sport=1 dport=1025 ftp/ ^ Fixes: 3a8fc53a45c4 ("netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allocate 16 bytes for the helper and policy names") Signed-off-by: Liping Zhang <liping.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_expect.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_expect.c b/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_expect.c index 4f4c88d70a8f..cba342b37b62 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_expect.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_expect.c @@ -557,7 +557,7 @@ static int exp_seq_show(struct seq_file *s, void *v) helper = rcu_dereference(nfct_help(expect->master)->helper); if (helper) { seq_printf(s, "%s%s", expect->flags ?
