Fernando Fernandez Mancera fbbd211898 net: vxlan: fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled 
[ Upstream commit 168ff39e47 ]

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 an IPv6 packet is injected into the interface,
route_shortcircuit() is called and a NULL pointer dereference happens on
neigh_lookup().

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000380
 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
 [...]
 RIP: 0010:neigh_lookup+0x20/0x270
 [...]
 Call Trace:
  <TASK>

  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e

Fix this by adding an early check on route_shortcircuit() when protocol
is ETH_P_IPV6. Note that ipv6_mod_enabled() cannot be used here because
VXLAN can be built-in even when IPv6 is built as a module.

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.
