[PATCH] [67/139] econet: Fix crash in aun_incoming().

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Feb 01 2011 - 20:00:31 EST


2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4e085e76cbe558b79b54cbab772f61185879bc64 ]

Unconditional use of skb->dev won't work here,
try to fetch the econet device via skb_dst()->dev
instead.

Suggested by Eric Dumazet.
