commitdca59f4a79upstream. The result of dev_get_by_index_rcu() is not checked for NULL and then gets dereferenced immediately. Also, the RCU lock must be held by the caller of dev_get_by_index_rcu(), which isn't satisfied by the call stack. Fix by handling nullptr return value when iflink device is not found. Add RCU locking around dev_get_by_index_rcu() to avoid possible adverse effects while iterating over the net_device's hlist. It is safe not to increment reference count of the net_device pointer in case of a successful lookup, because it's already handled by VLAN code during VLAN device registration (see register_vlan_dev and netdev_upper_dev_link).

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 Restructured Text 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.
