bonding: fix netdev event NULL pointer dereference
In commit 471cb5a33dcbd7c529684a2ac7ba4451414ee4a7 ("bonding: remove usage of dev->master") a bug was introduced which causes a NULL pointer dereference. If a bond device is in mode 6 (ALB) and a slave is added it will dereference a NULL pointer in bond_slave_netdev_event(). This is because in bond_enslave we have bond_alb_init_slave() which changes the MAC address of the slave and causes a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR. Then we have in bond_slave_netdev_event(): struct slave *slave = bond_slave_get_rtnl(slave_dev); struct bonding *bond = slave->bond; bond_slave_get_rtnl() dereferences slave_dev->rx_handler_data which at that time is NULL since netdev_rx_handler_register() is called later. This is fixed by checking if slave is NULL before dereferencing it. v2: Comment style changed. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
