[PATCH] net: check for dev pointer being NULL in dev_hard_header() to avoid GPF

From: George Kennedy
Date: Wed Nov 30 2022 - 09:13:48 EST


The dev pointer can be NULL in dev_hard_header(). Add check for dev being
NULL in dev_hard_header() to avoid GPF.

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
