[RESEND PATCH] ipv4: ip_check_defrag should correctly check return value of skb_copy_bits

From: Alexander Drozdov <hidden>
Date: 2015-02-19 09:27:00

skb_copy_bits() returns zero on success and a negative value on error,
so it is needed to invert the condition in ip_check_defrag().

Fixes: 1bf3751ec90c ("ipv4: ip_check_defrag must not modify skb before unsharing")

No need to resend, your first patch is still active in patchwork.
David is probably traveling from Ottawa.

Q: I sent a patch and I'm wondering what happened to it.  How can I tell
   whether it got merged?

A: Start by looking at the main patchworks queue for netdev:

        http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/

   The "State" field will tell you exactly where things are at with
   your patch.

Q: The above only says "Under Review".  How can I find out more?

A: Generally speaking, the patches get triaged quickly (in less than 48h).
   So be patient.  Asking the maintainer for status updates on your
   patch is a good way to ensure your patch is ignored or pushed to
   the bottom of the priority list.
