Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: arp_notify address list bug
Date: Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:20:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ACAD393.5080909@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091005.213103.237708475.davem@davemloft.net>

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>

This fixes a bug with arp_notify.

If arp_notify is enabled, kernel will crash if address is changed
and no IP address is assigned.
