3.5.7.2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eric Leblond <[email protected]> commit a3d744e995d2b936c500585ae39d99ee251c89b4 upstream. Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops in normal trafic condition: commit c0de08d04215031d68fa13af36f347a6cfa252ca Author: Eric Leblond <[email protected]> Date: Thu Aug 16 22:02:58 2012 +0000 af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable branches. When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed. This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in this case.
