From dc97a1a9477f969e34b38ca9d9cd231cb93ebea2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2014 16:31:49 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] genetlink: A genl_bind() to an out-of-range multicast group should not WARN(). Users can request to bind to arbitrary multicast groups, so warning when the requested group number is out of range is not appropriate. And with the warning removed, and the 'err' variable properly given an initial value, we can remove 'found' altogether. Reported-by: Sedat Dilek Signed-off-by: David S.
