3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Stefan Tomanek <stefan.tomanek@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 673498b8ed4c4d4b7221c5309d891c5eac2b7528 ]
This changes ensures that the routing entry investigated by the suppress
function actually does point to a device struct before following that pointer,
fixing a possible kernel oops situation when verifying the interface group
associated with a routing table entry.
According to Daniel Golle, this Oops can be triggered by a user process trying
to establish an outgoing IPv6 connection while having no real IPv6 connectivity
set up (only autoassigned link-local addresses).
Fixes: 6ef94cfafba15 ("fib_rules: add route suppression based on ifgroup")
