From 8691a9a3382f17fbf1ed808c956672c70369a2e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2013 22:16:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nft_compat: fix error path in nft_parse_compat() The patch 0ca743a55991: "netfilter: nf_tables: add compatibility layer for x_tables", leads to the following Smatch warning: "net/netfilter/nft_compat.c:140 nft_parse_compat() warn: signedness bug returning '(-34)'" This nft_parse_compat function returns error codes but the return type is u8 so the error codes are transformed into small positive values. The callers don't check the return. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso --- Reading git-format-patch failed
