[PATCH][next] xfrm: Add error handling when nla_put_u32() returns an error

From: Everest K.C. <hidden>
Date: 2024-11-12 23:37:53
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipsec], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Steffen Klassert, Herbert Xu, Linus Torvalds

Error handling is missing when call to nla_put_u32() fails.
Handle the error when the call to nla_put_u32() returns an error.

The error was reported by Coverity Scan.
Report:
CID 1601525: (#1 of 1): Unused value (UNUSED_VALUE)
returned_value: Assigning value from nla_put_u32(skb, XFRMA_SA_PCPU, x->pcpu_num)
to err here, but that stored value is overwritten before it can be used

Fixes: 1ddf9916ac09 ("xfrm: Add support for per cpu xfrm state handling.")
