Do  you have a repro ?
See syzkaller repros attached.

This patch will not prevent a crash later I think.
The repro ran overnight without failure with the patch applied.
Yes, but the patch is hiding a potential bug that might show up with
other 'repros'
The repro fails when these devices are configured (seem like small mtu):

20: vxcan0@vxcan1: <NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 72 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/can
    inet 172.20.20.38/24 scope global vxcan0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
21: vxcan1@vxcan0: <NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 72 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/can
    inet 172.20.20.39/24 scope global vxcan1
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever


# diff ../config.fail .config
3325c3325
< CONFIG_CAN_VXCAN=y

# CONFIG_CAN_VXCAN is not set

Thanks,
George

Please fix the root cause, thanks !
Will try.
Thanks, having a repro definitely should help to find the real bug.

I took a look at macvlan , and could not see how vlan->lowerdev  could
be NULL in the first place.

Thanks,
George
                  return 0;
net_device being NULL during eth header construction? seems like a
more serious issue?
If it indeed is a genuine scenario I think a better description is needed...

          return dev->header_ops->create(skb, dev, type, daddr, saddr, len);
