3.16.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 926a882f6916fd76b6f8ee858d45a2241c5e7999 upstream. The socket parameter might legally be NULL, thus sock_net is sometimes causing a NULL pointer dereference. Using net_device pointer in dst_entry is more reliable.
