Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: propagate errors correctly in register_netdevice()
Date: Thu,  3 Oct 2019 08:59:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191003155924.71666-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)

If netdev_name_node_head_alloc() fails to allocate
memory, we absolutely want register_netdevice() to return
-ENOMEM instead of zero :/

One of the syzbot report looked like :
