From 9f888160bdcccf0565dd2774956b8d9456e610be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2010 11:00:13 +0000 Subject: ipv6: fix NULL reference in proxy neighbor discovery The addition of TLLAO option created a kernel OOPS regression for the case where neighbor advertisement is being sent via proxy path. When using proxy, ipv6_get_ifaddr() returns NULL causing the NULL dereference. Change causing the bug was: commit f7734fdf61ec6bb848e0bafc1fb8bad2c124bb50 Author: Octavian Purdila Date: Fri Oct 2 11:39:15 2009 +0000 make TLLAO option for NA packets configurable Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S.
