This reverts commit 733c99ee8be9a1410287cdbb943887365e83b2d6.

Since commit e842cb60e8ac ("net: fix NULL pointer reference in
cipso_v4_doi_free") also applied to fix the root cause, we can
just revert the old version now.

Hi Paul, it confused me since it's the first time I face
such situation, but I just realized what you're asking is
actually this revert, correct?

Michael Wang

I believe DaveM already answered your question in the other thread,
but if you are still unsure about the patch let me know.

I do failed to get the point :-(

As I checked the:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git

both v1 and v2 are there with the same description and both code modification
are applied.

We want revert v1 but not in a revert patch style, then do you suggest
send a normal patch to do the code revert?

Regards,
Michael Wang

It sounds like DaveM wants you to create a normal (not a revert) patch
that removes the v1 changes while leaving the v2 changes intact.  In
the patch description you can mention that v1 was merged as a mistake
and that v2 is the correct fix (provide commit IDs for each in your
commit description using the usual 12-char hash snippet followed by
the subject in parens-and-quotes).

Thanks for the kindly explain, I've sent:
  [PATCH] net: remove the unnecessary check in cipso_v4_doi_free

Which actually revert the v1 and mentioned v2 fixed the root casue,
Would you please take a look see if that is helpful?
