Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net: check dev->reg_state before deref of napi netdev_ops
Date:   Sun, 11 Mar 2018 12:22:55 -0700
Message-Id: <20180311192322.101598-2-jelsasser@appneta.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180311192322.101598-1-jelsasser@appneta.com>

Precedence: bulk

init_dummy_netdev() leaves its netdev_ops pointer zeroed. This leads
to a NULL pointer dereference when sk_busy_loop fires against an iwlwifi
wireless adapter and checks napi->dev->netdev_ops->ndo_busy_poll.

Avoid this by ensuring that napi->dev is not a dummy device before
dereferencing napi dev's netdev_ops, preventing the following panic:

Commit 79e7fff47b7b ("net: remove support for per driver ndo_busy_poll()")
indirectly fixed this upstream in linux-4.11 by removing the offending
pointer usage. No other users of napi->dev touch its netdev_ops.

Fixes: 060212928670 ("net: add low latency socket poll")
Fixes: ce6aea93f751 ("net: network drivers no longer need to implement ndo_busy_poll()") - 4.9.y
