[PATCH 4.18 30/35] hv/netvsc: Fix NULL dereference at single queue mode fallback
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Aug 21 2018 - 02:23:15 EST
4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit b19b46346f483ae055fa027cb2d5c2ca91484b91 ]
The recent commit 916c5e1413be ("hv/netvsc: fix handling of fallback
to single queue mode") tried to fix the fallback behavior to a single
queue mode, but it changed the function to return zero incorrectly,
while the function should return an object pointer. Eventually this
leads to a NULL dereference at the callers that expect non-NULL
value.
Fix it by returning the proper net_device object.
