James Chapman 68315801db l2tp: l2tp_ip - fix possible oops on packet receive ... When a packet is received on an L2TP IP socket (L2TPv3 IP link encapsulation), the l2tpip socket's backlog_rcv function calls xfrm4_policy_check(). This is not necessary, since it was called before the skb was added to the backlog. With CONFIG_NET_NS enabled, xfrm4_policy_check() will oops if skb->dev is null, so this trivial patch removes the call. This bug has always been present, but only when CONFIG_NET_NS is enabled does it cause problems. Most users are probably using UDP encapsulation for L2TP, hence the problem has only recently surfaced.
