[PATCH 3.8 13/91] net-tcp: fix panic in tcp_fastopen_cache_set()

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Thu Jan 02 2014 - 12:31:15 EST


3.8.13.15 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dccf76ca6b626c0c4a4e09bb221adee3270ab0ef ]

We had some reports of crashes using TCP fastopen, and Dave Jones
gave a nice stack trace pointing to the error.

Issue is that tcp_get_metrics() should not be called with a NULL dst

Fixes: 1fe4c481ba637 ("net-tcp: Fast Open client - cookie cache")
