Subject: [PATCH net] net/hsr: Fix NULL pointer dereference and refcnt bugs when deleting a HSR interface.

From: Arvid Brodin <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2015 20:22:38 +0100

How to repeat:

$ sudo ip link add hsr0 type hsr slave1 <if1> slave2 <if2>
$ sudo ip link del hsr0
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
IP: [<ffffffff8187f495>] hsr_del_port+0x15/0xa0
etc...

Reported-by: Nicolas Dichtel <[email-masked]>
Fixes: 51f3c605318b056a ("net/hsr: Move slave init to hsr_slave.c.")
