From 0d68fc4f1210f8caea2bdd68f99dc6da35ee3740 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hangbin Liu Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2014 11:33:45 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] infiniband: make sure the src net is infiniband when create new link When we create a new infiniband link with uninfiniband device, e.g. `ip link add link em1 type ipoib pkey 0x8001`. We will get a NULL pointer dereference cause other dev like Ethernet don't have struct ib_device. The code path is: rtnl_newlink |-- ipoib_new_child_link |-- __ipoib_vlan_add |-- ipoib_set_dev_features |-- ib_query_device Fix this bug by make sure the src net is infiniband when create new link.
