| |
2.6.34-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: stephen hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>
commit 9f888160bdcccf0565dd2774956b8d9456e610be upstream.
The addition of TLLAO option created a kernel OOPS regression for the case where neighbor advertisement is being sent via proxy path. When using proxy, ipv6_get_ifaddr() returns NULL causing the NULL dereference.
Change causing the bug was: commit f7734fdf61ec6bb848e0bafc1fb8bad2c124bb50 Author: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Date: Fri Oct 2 11:39:15 2009 +0000
make TLLAO option for NA packets configurable
