6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e3af3d3c5b26c33a7950e34e137584f6056c4319 ] dev->ip_ptr could be NULL if we set an invalid MTU. Even then, if we issue ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) for a new IPv4 address, devinet_ioctl() allocates struct in_ifaddr and fails later in inet_set_ifa() because in_dev is NULL. Let's move the check earlier.
