[PATCH 5.14 351/849] net: phylink: dont call netif_carrier_off() with NULL netdev

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit cbcca2e3961eac736566ac13ef0d0bf6f0b764ec ]

Dan Carpenter points out that we have a code path that permits a NULL
netdev pointer to be passed to netif_carrier_off(), which will cause
a kernel oops. In any case, we need to set pl->old_link_state to false
to have the desired effect when there is no netdev present.
