From: Tom Seewald <tseewald@xxxxxxxxx> The function qlcnic_dl_lb_test() currently calls netdev_alloc_skb() without checking afterwards that the allocation succeeded. Fix this by checking if the skb is NULL and returning an error in such a case. Breaking out of the loop if the skb is NULL is not correct as no error would be reported to the caller and no message would be printed for the user. Cc: David S.
