From ac5e3af9996fb911d4fdff910a8ac3cb7fc63a94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:23:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: sysfs: ethtool_ops can be NULL commit d519e17e2d01a0ee9abe083019532061b4438065 (net: export device speed and duplex via sysfs) made the wrong assumption that netdev->ethtool_ops was always set. This makes possible to crash kernel and let rtnl in locked state. modprobe dummy ip link set dummy0 up (udev runs and crash) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Andy Gospodarek Signed-off-by: David S.
