netpoll: fix NULL pointer dereference in netpoll_cleanup
I've been hitting a NULL ptr deref while using netconsole because the np->dev check and the pointer manipulation in netpoll_cleanup are done without rtnl and the following sequence happens when having a netconsole over a vlan and we remove the vlan while disabling the netconsole: CPU 1 CPU2 removes vlan and calls the notifier enters store_enabled(), calls netdev_cleanup which checks np->dev and then waits for rtnl executes the netconsole netdev release notifier making np->dev == NULL and releases rtnl continues to dereference a member of np->dev which at this point is == NULL Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
