From ec6f2ff0a3985907b0c224e482d790615be5772d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2022 15:05:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nfnetlink: add missing __be16 cast Sparse flags this as suspicious, because this compares integer with a be16 with no conversion. Its a compat check for old userspace that sends host byte order, so force a be16 cast here.
