[PATCH net] netfilter: nft_socket: Fix a NULL vs IS_ERR() bug in nft_socket_cgroup_subtree_level()
Posted by Dan Carpenter 2 months, 2 weeks ago
The cgroup_get_from_path() function never returns NULL, it returns error
pointers.  Update the error handling to match.

Good news, I will retire in the next few years so I don't send shit
patches anymore.

This is also my fault, I did not help to catch this error in any way:

Everyone makes mistakes, don't be too hard on yourself :)
