From 39f3b41aa7cae917f928ef9f31d09da28188e5ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Abeni Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2020 19:42:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: genetlink: return the error code when attribute parsing fails. Currently if attribute parsing fails and the genl family does not support parallel operation, the error code returned by __nlmsg_parse() is discarded by genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse(). Be sure to report the error for all genl families. Fixes: c10e6cf85e7d ("net: genetlink: push attrbuf allocation and parsing to a separate function") Fixes: ab5b526da048 ("net: genetlink: always allocate separate attrs for dumpit ops") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
