Subject: veth: fix a NULL deref in netif_carrier_off
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2efd32ee1b60b0b31404ca47c1ce70e5a5d24ebc;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

veth: fix a NULL deref in netif_carrier_off

In commit d0e2c55e7c94 (veth: avoid a NULL deref in veth_stats_one)
we now clear the peer pointers in veth_dellink()

veth_close() must therefore make sure the peer pointer is set.
