From: Oliver Hartkopp Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:19:34 +0000 (+0100) Subject: fib_frontend: fix possible NULL pointer dereference X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a0065f266a9b5d51575535a25c15ccbeed9a9966;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git fib_frontend: fix possible NULL pointer dereference The two commits 0115e8e30d (net: remove delay at device dismantle) and 748e2d9396a (net: reinstate rtnl in call_netdevice_notifiers()) silently removed a NULL pointer check for in_dev since Linux 3.7. This patch re-introduces this check as it causes crashing the kernel when setting small mtu values on non-ip capable netdevices.
