The commit that changed this can't be reverted easily, but the patch 
below works for me.

Fix NULL de-reference in rt6_fill_node() when there's no IPv6 input 
device present in the dst entry.

I think it's better to use a helper routine like ipv6_get_saddr to make
sure that both dst and rt6i_idev arguments are checked for NULL.

I have compiled, and tested the patch.

Thanks,

We've already determined from one tester that the behavior is
changing with Brian's patch.  Furthermore I haven't applied it
to mainline so it isn't anywhere near being submittable for
-stable.

I submit all relevant networking bug fixes to -stable when they are
ready and in a proper state to be submitted, you don't have to do it
for me.  Sending me a gentle reminder or nudge, on the other hand, is
fine.

With the patch I posted, this is the behaviour I get:

$ ip -f inet6 route get fec0::1
unreachable fec0::1 dev lo  table unspec  proto none  src
fe80::214:4fff:fe0f:7332  metric -1  error -101 hoplimit 255

John emailed me that he will be testing this patch. I have not tested
Brian's patch.

Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't familiar, but I welcome the hint.

Thanks,

Acked-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com>

But Yoshfuji might have another opinion since he did the work to remove 
ipv6_get_saddr() in the first place.

Ok, so there's a mistake in my patch. It should return the loopback MAC
address instead. I'm wondering if the fix should be related to
initialising rt6i_idev in addrconf_init routine like in the upstream
commit: c62dba9011b93fd88fde929848582b2a98309878. The code changed quite
a lot.

So I checked, it's initialised in ip6_route_init().

Folks

I've enclosed patch from Eugene just so we all know which patch we're
talking about. It 'works' according to the following definition:

a) Fixed OOPS
b) runs overnight in our test network. This run doesn't do much specific
ipv6 testing - but clearly what's there is catching stuff :-;

cheers

John

I think it's better to use a helper routine like ipv6_get_saddr to make
sure that both dst and rt6i_idev arguments are checked for NULL.

I have compiled, and tested the patch.

While Eugene's patch seems mostly fine, it's a bit over the top
to cure this OOPS and get backported to -stable I think.

So I've applied Brian's patch, as below, because we have many
other reports that it fixes the crash too.

I'd appreciate it if you'd test Brian's patch as well as you
tested Eugene's as this is what will go into the tree for the
time being.

We can reinvestigate Eugene's patch, but one thing I don't like
about it is that it adds this silly NULL check when that is
totally unnecessary in the vast majority of these call sites.

Yes yes, I'll submit this to stable too before someone bugs me
about that again.  I'll first let this sit and get tested for
a few days before I do that submission so don't panic if you
don't see it for a few days.

    The commit that changed this can't be reverted easily, but the patch
    below works for me.

    device present in the dst entry.
