5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mikhail Lobanov <m.lobanov@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a5e61b50c9f44c5edb6e134ede6fee8806ffafa9 upstream. If the net_conf pointer is NULL and the code attempts to access its fields without a check, it will lead to a null pointer dereference. Add a NULL check before dereferencing the pointer. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
