net/core: neighbour update Oops
When configuring DMVPN (GRE + openNHRP) and a GRE remote
address is configured a kernel Oops is observed. The
obserseved Oops is caused by a NULL header_ops pointer
(neigh->dev->header_ops) in neigh_update_hhs() when
void (*update)(struct hh_cache*, const struct net_device*, const unsigned char *)
= neigh->dev->header_ops->cache_update;
is executed. The dev associated with the NULL header_ops is
the GRE interface. This patch guards against the
possibility that header_ops is NULL.
This Oops was first observed in kernel version 2.6.26.8.
