3.16.39-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 60154a1e0495ffb8343a95cefe1e874634572fa8 upstream. vlan_insert_tag can return NULL on errors. The distributed arp table code therefore has to check the return value of vlan_insert_tag for NULL before it can safely operate on this pointer.
