From fcca143d696092110ae1e361866576804fe887f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Yongjun Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 03:22:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] rtnetlink: fix error return code in rtnl_link_fill() Fix to return a negative error code from the error handling case instead of 0(possible overwrite to 0 by ops->fill_xstats call), as returned elsewhere in this function.
