Subject[PATCH 4.19 045/170] net/ipv6: Fix a test against ipv6_find_idev() return value
Date
4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>

[ Upstream commit 178fe94405bffbd1acd83b6ff3b40211185ae9c9 ]

'ipv6_find_idev()' returns NULL on error, not an error pointer.
Update the test accordingly and return -ENOBUFS, as already done in
'addrconf_add_dev()', if NULL is returned.

Fixes: ("ipv6: allow userspace to add IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC addresses")
