[PATCH 3.17 122/141] netfilter: nf_tables: check for NULL in nf_tables_newchain pcpu stats allocation

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 19 2014 - 16:02:44 EST


3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c123bb7163043bb8f33858cf8e45b01c17dbd171 upstream.

alloc_percpu returns NULL on failure, not a negative error code.

Fixes: ff3cd7b3c922 ("netfilter: nf_tables: refactor chain statistic routines")
