From 21e9341ed96024aaead1a12c77e9869ad81f8b96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2018 18:47:52 +0100 Subject: ipv4: Fix error return value in fib_convert_metrics() The validation code modified by commit 5b5e7a0de2bb ("net: metrics: add proper netlink validation") is organised differently in older kernel versions. The fib_convert_metrics() function that is modified in the backports to 4.4 and 4.9 needs to returns an error code, not a success flag.
