From 91a0b603469069cdcce4d572b7525ffc9fd352a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jane Zhou Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:44:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net/ping: handle protocol mismatching scenario ping_lookup() may return a wrong sock if sk_buff's and sock's protocols dont' match. For example, sk_buff's protocol is ETH_P_IPV6, but sock's sk_family is AF_INET, in that case, if sk->sk_bound_dev_if is zero, a wrong sock will be returned. the fix is to "continue" the searching, if no matching, return NULL.
