Subject: [PATCH 12/17] ioctl: only memset non-NULL link settings
|
|
|
4f6fcd |
|
|
|
4f6fcd |
In commit bef780467fa ("ioctl: do not pass transceiver value back to
|
|
|
4f6fcd |
kernel") a regression slipped in. If we have a kernel that does not
|
|
|
4f6fcd |
support the ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API, then the do_ioctl_glinksettings()
|
|
|
4f6fcd |
function will return a NULL pointer.
|
|
|
4f6fcd |
|
|
|
4f6fcd |
Hence before memset'ing the pointer to zero we must first check it is
|
|
|
4f6fcd |
valid, as NULL return is perfectly fine when running on old kernels.
