From 5f1a18e05b07913c9e26f5fe3c41fa56679d6c31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Elsasser Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2019 14:38:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: set default network namespace in init_dummy_netdev() [ Upstream commit 35edfdc77f683c8fd27d7732af06cf6489af60a5 ] Assign a default net namespace to netdevs created by init_dummy_netdev(). Fixes a NULL pointer dereference caused by busy-polling a socket bound to an iwlwifi wireless device, which bumps the per-net BUSYPOLLRXPACKETS stat if napi_poll() received packets: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000190 IP: napi_busy_loop+0xd6/0x200 Call Trace: sock_poll+0x5e/0x80 do_sys_poll+0x324/0x5a0 SyS_poll+0x6c/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x6b/0x1f0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2 Fixes: 7db6b048da3b ("net: Commonize busy polling code to focus on napi_id instead of socket") Signed-off-by: Josh Elsasser Signed-off-by: David S.
