If IPv6 is disabled on boot (ipv6.disable=1), but nft_fib_inet ends up dealing with a IPv6 packet, it causes a kernel panic in fib6_node_lookup_1(), crashing in bad_page_fault. The panic is caused by trying to deference a very low address (0x38 in ppc64le), due to ipv6.fib6_main_tbl = NULL. BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000038 The kernel panic was reproduced in a host that disabled IPv6 on boot and have to process guest packets (coming from a bridge) using it's ip6tables. Terminate rule evaluation when packet protocol is IPv6 but the ipv6 module is not loaded.

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.
