From 5c8857b653e71a9850a02837e1268e3198abbd1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2017 10:45:48 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] IB/IPoIB: Fix error code in ipoib_add_port() We accidentally don't see the error code on some of these error paths. It means we return ERR_PTR(0) which is NULL and it results in a NULL dereference in the caller. This bug dates to pre-git days.
