Subject: Don't potentially dereference NULL in net/dcb/dcbnl.c:dcbnl_getapp()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.38-rc6~20^2~26
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d3337de52af7fb0ebe605b02b740be4ee7dee9eb;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-exynos.git

Don't potentially dereference NULL in net/dcb/dcbnl.c:dcbnl_getapp()

nla_nest_start() may return NULL. If it does then we'll blow up in
nla_nest_end() when we dereference the pointer.
