Ricardo B. Marlière 95faa1459b net: bonding: Fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
[ Upstream commit 30021e969d ]

When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called
which initializes it. If bonding ARP/NS validation is enabled, an IPv6
NS/NA packet received on a slave can reach bond_validate_na(), which
calls bond_has_this_ip6(). That path calls ipv6_chk_addr() and can
crash in __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags().

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000005d8

Fix this by checking ipv6_mod_enabled() before dispatching IPv6 packets to
bond_na_rcv(). If IPv6 is disabled, return early from bond_rcv_validate()
and avoid the path to ipv6_chk_addr().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
