[PATCH net] netlabel: check register_netdevice_notifier() error in netlbl_unlabel_init()
From: Minhong He
Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 23:21:44 EST
netlbl_unlabel_init() installs the unlabeled connection hash table and
registers a netdevice notifier, but ignores notifier registration errors
and always returns success.
Check the error and unwind the hash table allocation on failure.
