Subject: [PATCH stable] ipv4: avoid passing NULL to inet_putpeer() in icmpv4_xrlim_allow()
Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 10:46:40 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1443466888.5267673.1354895200559.JavaMail.root@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1411074275.5265862.1354894974886.JavaMail.root@redhat.com>

David, this patch looks applicable for the stable releases.

>From Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com>

inet_getpeer_v4() can return NULL under OOM conditions, and while
inet_peer_xrlim_allow() is OK with a NULL peer, inet_putpeer() will
crash.

This code path now uses the same idiom as the others from:
1d861aa4b3fb08822055345f480850205ffe6170 ("inet: Minimize use of
cached route inetpeer.").
