[BRIDGE]: Fix crash in __ip_route_output_key with bridge netfilter
The bridge netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with a pointer to a fake net_device structure to skbs it passes up to IPv4 netfilter. This leads to crashes when the skb is passed to __ip_route_output_key when dereferencing the namespace pointer. Since bridging can currently only operate in the init_net namespace, the easiest fix for now is to initialize the nd_net pointer of the fake net_device struct to &init_net. Should fix bugzilla 10323: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10323 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
