Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: arp_notify address list bug
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2009 19:15:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091005191505.75c929a6@nehalam> (raw)
This fixes a bug with arp_notify and also adds a small enhancement.
If arp_notify is enabled, kernel will crash if address is changed
and no IP address is assigned.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14330
The fix is to walk the (possibly empty) list when sending
the gratuitous ARP's.

This should go to stable kernel fixes as well.
