[PATCH net-next] net: fib_notifier: don't return positive values on fib registration

From: Vlad Buslov <hidden>
Date: 2021-02-11 10:11:20
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

The function fib6_walk_continue() cannot return a positive value when
called from register_fib_notifier(), but ignoring causes static analyzer to
generate warnings in users of register_fib_notifier() that try to convert
returned error code to pointer with ERR_PTR(). Handle such case by
explicitly checking for positive error values and converting them to
-EINVAL in fib6_tables_dump().
