Subject: [patch 23/28] ipv6: Fix OOPS in ip6_dst_lookup_tail().
Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2008 16:17:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081006231750.GX20567@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081006231639.GA20567@suse.de>

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-ipv6-Fix-OOPS-in-ip6_dst_lookup_tail.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3011 bytes --]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>

[ Upstream commit e550dfb0c2c31b6363aa463a035fc9f8dcaa3c9b ]

This fixes kernel bugzilla 11469: "TUN with 1024 neighbours:
ip6_dst_lookup_tail NULL crash"

dst->neighbour is not necessarily hooked up at this point
in the processing path, so blindly dereferencing it is
the wrong thing to do.  This NULL check exists in other
similar paths and this case was just an oversight.

Also fix the completely wrong and confusing indentation
here while we're at it.

Based upon a patch by Evgeniy Polyakov.
