From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== [ Upstream commit 391a20333b8393ef2e13014e6e59d192c5594471 ] After commit fbd40ea0180a ("ipv4: Don't do expensive useless work during inetdev destroy.") when deleting an interface, fib_del_ifaddr() can be executed without any primary address present on the dead interface. The above is safe, but triggers some "bug: prim == NULL" warnings. This commit avoids warning if the in_dev is dead Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
