[PATCH 3.16 161/346] netfilter: nf_ct_expect: remove the redundant slash when policy name is empty

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Nov 13 2016 - 21:57:28 EST


3.16.39-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Liping Zhang <liping.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b173a28f62cf929324a8a6adcc45adadce311d16 upstream.

The 'name' filed in struct nf_conntrack_expect_policy{} is not a
pointer, so check it is NULL or not will always return true. Even if the
name is empty, slash will always be displayed like follows:
# cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack_expect
297 l3proto = 2 proto=6 src=1.1.1.1 dst=2.2.2.2 sport=1 dport=1025 ftp/
^
