From: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 49d05fe2c9d1b4a27761c9807fec39b8155bef9e ] Paul reported that l2tp sessions were broken after the commit referenced in the Fixes tag. Prior to this commit rt6_check returned NULL if the rt6_info 'from' was NULL - ie., the dst_entry was disconnected from a FIB entry. Restore that behavior. Fixes: 93531c674315 ("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based routes") Reported-by: Paul Donohue <linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Paul Donohue <linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
