From 7b34ca2ac7063f4ebf07f85fd75253ed84d5c648 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 04:13:57 -0700 Subject: inet: Avoid potential NULL peer dereference. We handle NULL in rt{,6}_set_peer but then our caller will try to pass that NULL pointer into inet_putpeer() which isn't ready for it. Fix this by moving the NULL check one level up, and then remove the now unnecessary NULL check from inetpeer_ptr_set_peer(). Reported-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
