From 8f8ff9135b28a7560a5627aceaf289e3f0d4cd64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Alpe Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2015 14:15:10 +0200 Subject: tipc: don't sanity check non-existing TLV (NL compat) A zero length payload means that no TLV (Type Length Value) data has been passed. Prior to this patch a non-existing TLV could be sanity checked with TLV_OK() resulting in random behavior where a user sending an empty message occasionally got a incorrect "operation not supported" message back.
