[PATCH net-next 1/3] cnic: Use proper ulp_ops for per device operations.

From: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com>
Date: 2014-03-18 02:00:16
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

For per device operations, cnic needs to dereference the RCU protected
cp->ulp_ops instead of the global cnic_ulp_tbl.  In 2 locations,
cnic_send_nlmsg() and cnic_copy_ulp_stats(), it was referencing the
global table.  If the device has been unregistered and these functions
are still being called (very unlikely scenarios), it could lead to NULL
pointer dereference.
