4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 173656accaf583698bac3f9e269884ba60d51ef4 ]
If we disabled IPv6 from the kernel command line (ipv6.disable=1), we should
not call ip6_err_gen_icmpv6_unreach(). This:
ip link add sit1 type sit local 192.0.2.1 remote 192.0.2.2 ttl 1
ip link set sit1 up
ip addr add 198.51.100.1/24 dev sit1
ping 198.51.100.2
if IPv6 is disabled at boot time, will crash the kernel.
v2: there's no need to use in6_dev_get(), use __in6_dev_get() instead,
as we only need to check that idev exists and we are under
rcu_read_lock() (from netif_receive_skb_internal()).
