If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Timo Teräs [ Upstream commit 497574c72c9922cf20c12aed15313c389f722fa0 ] The error exit path needs err explicitly set. Otherwise it returns success and the only caller, xfrm_output_resume(), would oops in skb_dst(skb)->ops derefence as skb_dst(skb) is NULL. Bug introduced in commit bb65a9cb (xfrm: removes a superfluous check and add a statistic). Signed-off-by: Timo Teräs Cc: Li RongQing Cc: Steffen Klassert Signed-off-by: David S.
