[PATCH 1/1] openvswitch: check return value of nla_nest_start

2017-04-23 Thread Pan Bian

Function nla_nest_start() will return a NULL pointer on error, and its return value should be validated before it is used. However, in function queue_userspace_packet(), its return value is ignored. This may result in NULL dereference when calling nla_nest_end(). This patch fixes the bug.
