Subject: [PATCH v3] nbd_genl_status: null check for nla_nest_start
Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2019 11:40:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190911164013.27364-1-navid.emamdoost@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190910113521.GA9895@unicorn.suse.cz>

nla_nest_start may fail and return NULL. The check is inserted, and
errno is selected based on other call sites within the same source code.
Update: removed extra new line.
v3 Update: added release reply, thanks to Michal Kubecek for pointing
out.
