From c75d1d5248c0c97996051809ad0e9f154ba5d76e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:31:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: check return value of register_netdevice() in bond_newlink() Very similar to commit 544f287b8495 ("bonding: check error value of register_netdevice() immediately"), we should immediately check the return value of register_netdevice() before doing anything else. Fixes: 005db31d5f5f ("bonding: set carrier off for devices created through netlink") Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+bbc3a11c4da63c1b74d6@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Cc: Beniamino Galvani Cc: Taehee Yoo Cc: Jay Vosburgh Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
