4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c0a47e44c0980b3b23ee31fa7936d70ea5dce491 ] When we add a new GENEVE device with IPv6 remote, checking only for IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) is not enough as we may disable IPv6 in the kernel command line (ipv6.disable=1), and calling rt6_lookup() would cause a NULL pointer dereference. v2: - don't mix declarations and code (reported by Stefano Brivio, Eric Dumazet) - there's no need to use in6_dev_get() as we only need to check that idev exists (reported by David Ahern). This is under RTNL, so we can simply use __in6_dev_get() instead (Stefano, Eric).
