Hi,
upstream commit d5aa407f59f5b83d2c50ec88f5bf56d40f1f8978 ("tunnels: fix
netns vs proto registration ordering") , which was included in
2.6.32.44-longterm, was not backported correctly, and results in a NULL
pointer dereference in ip6_tunnel.c for longterm kernels 2.6.32.44 and
2.6.32.45.
The bug has been reported at the Gentoo [1] and Debian [2] bugzillas,
and fixed in the latest grsec-patches [3], but I haven't found a report
for this at the lkml (or at the kernel's bugzilla).
The fix is trivial, and I think it can be included in 2.6.32.46, if
possible.
If you want, I can submit it with a new email to stable@kernel.org.

goto out_pernet;
Btw, this has been fixed in grsec-patches, and an identical patch has
also been posted at the Debian bugzilla, so I'm not sure about the
Signed-off-by and Reported-by tags.
