From b14295532421c40f82ee099fdbd3d011f022e756 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ville Nuorvala Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 16:44:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV6]: Make sure fib6_rule_lookup doesn't return NULL The callers of fib6_rule_lookup don't expect it to return NULL, therefore it must return ip6_null_entry whenever fib_rule_lookup fails.
