Colin Ian King says: Static analysis with CoverityScan found a potential issue [..] It seems that pointer pol is set to NULL and then a check to see if it is non-null is used to set pol to tmp; howeverm this check is always going to be false because pol is always NULL. Fix this and update test script to catch this. Updated script only: ./xfrm_policy.sh ; echo $?

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
