From 691306ebd18f945e44b4552a4bfcca3475e5d957 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Mon, 20 May 2019 11:07:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fib_rules: fix error in backport of e9919a24d302 ("fib_rules: return 0...") When commit e9919a24d302 ("fib_rules: return 0 directly if an exactly same rule exists when NLM_F_EXCL not supplied") was backported to 4.9.y, it changed the logic a bit as err should have been reset before exiting the test, like it happens in the original logic. If this is not set, errors happen :( Reported-by: Nathan Chancellor Reported-by: David Ahern Reported-by: Florian Westphal Cc: Hangbin Liu Cc: David S.
