Subject: [PATCH 5.15 48/73] net/ncsi: check for error return from call to nla_put_u32

From: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@...as.ac.cn>

[ Upstream commit 92a34ab169f9eefe29cd420ce96b0a0a2a1da853 ]

As we can see from the comment of the nla_put() that it could return
-EMSGSIZE if the tailroom of the skb is insufficient.
Therefore, it should be better to check the return value of the
nla_put_u32 and return the error code if error accurs.
Also, there are many other functions have the same problem, and if this
patch is correct, I will commit a new version to fix all.
