4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1020ce3108cc26fbf09d70550ea2937cb1a211d2 ] We might call br_afspec() with p == NULL which is a valid use case if the action is on the bridge device itself, but the bridge tunnel code dereferences the p pointer without checking, so check if p is null first.
