+Subject: [PATCH] net: fib: fib6_add: fix potential NULL pointer dereference
+
+When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES, and we return
+with an error in fn = fib6_add_1(), then error codes are encoded into
+the return pointer e.g. ERR_PTR(-ENOENT). In such an error case, we
+write the error code into err and jump to out, hence enter the if(err)
+condition. Now, if CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES is enabled, we check for:
+if (pn != fn && pn->leaf == rt)
+...
+if (pn != fn && !pn->leaf && !(pn->fn_flags & RTN_RTINFO))
+...
+Since pn is NULL and fn is f.e. ERR_PTR(-ENOENT), then pn != fn
+evaluates to true and causes a NULL-pointer dereference on further
+checks on pn. Fix it, by setting both NULL in error case, so that
+pn != fn already evaluates to false and no further dereference
+takes place.
+
+This was first correctly implemented in 4a287eba2 ("IPv6 routing,
+NLM_F_* flag support: REPLACE and EXCL flags support, warn about
+missing CREATE flag"), but the bug got later on introduced by
+188c517a0 ("ipv6: return errno pointers consistently for fib6_add_1()").
