Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: fix NULL reference in proxy neighbor discovery
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2010 14:00:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100621140013.508741df@nehalam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100621200413.GA2280@EIS>
The addition of TLLAO option created a kernel OOPS regression
for the case where neighbor advertisement is being sent via
proxy path. When using proxy, ipv6_get_ifaddr() returns NULL
causing the NULL dereference.
Change causing the bug was:
commit f7734fdf61ec6bb848e0bafc1fb8bad2c124bb50
Author: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com>
