From 768071f432eee4448a1c064a2032e9c58830c748 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "John W. Linville" Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 15:56:39 -0400 Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: fix type mismatch with error return from nft_parse_u32_check commit f1d505bb762e30bf316ff5d3b604914649d6aed3 upstream. Commit 36b701fae12ac ("netfilter: nf_tables: validate maximum value of u32 netlink attributes") introduced nft_parse_u32_check with a return value of "unsigned int", yet on error it returns "-ERANGE". This patch corrects the mismatch by changing the return value to "int", which happens to match the actual users of nft_parse_u32_check already. Found by Coverity, CID 1373930. Note that commit 21a9e0f1568ea ("netfilter: nft_exthdr: fix error handling in nft_exthdr_init()) attempted to address the issue, but did not address the return type of nft_parse_u32_check.
