From a881e963c7fe1f226e991ee9bbe8907acda93294 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Peter Huang (Peng)" Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:12:51 +0000 Subject: set fake_rtable's dst to NULL to avoid kernel Oops bridge: set fake_rtable's dst to NULL to avoid kernel Oops when bridge is deleted before tap/vif device's delete, kernel may encounter an oops because of NULL reference to fake_rtable's dst. Set fake_rtable's dst to NULL before sending packets out can solve this problem. v4 reformat, change br_drop_fake_rtable(skb) to {} v3 enrich commit header v2 introducing new flag DST_FAKE_RTABLE to dst_entry struct. [ Use "do { } while (0)" for nop br_drop_fake_rtable() implementation -DaveM ] Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Peter Huang Signed-off-by: David S.
