The fixes provided in this patch assigns a valid net_device structure to skb before dispatching it for further processing. Scenario #1: ============ Bluetooth 6lowpan receives an uncompressed IPv6 header, and dispatches it to netif. The following error occurs: Null pointer dereference error #1 crash log: [ 845.854013] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048 [ 845.855785] IP: [<ffffffff816e3d36>] enqueue_to_backlog+0x56/0x240 ... [ 845.909459] Call Trace: [ 845.911678] [<ffffffff816e3f64>] netif_rx_internal+0x44/0xf0 The first modification fixes the NULL pointer dereference error by assigning dev to the local_skb in order to set a valid net_device before processing the skb by netif_rx_ni(). Scenario #2: ============ Bluetooth 6lowpan receives an UDP compressed message which needs further decompression by nhc_udp. The following error occurs: Null pointer dereference error #2 crash log: [ 63.295149] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000840 [ 63.295931] IP: [<ffffffffc0559540>] udp_uncompress+0x320/0x626 [nhc_udp] The second modification fixes the NULL pointer dereference error by assigning dev to the local_skb in the case of a udp compressed packet. The 6lowpan udp_uncompress function expects that the net_device is set in the skb when checking lltype.
