[PATCH net] phonet: properly unshare skbs in phonet_rcv()

From: Eric Dumazet <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-12 16:58:05
Also in: linux-omap, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], phonet protocol, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Remi Denis-Courmont, Linus Torvalds

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

Ivaylo Dimitrov reported a regression caused by commit 7866a621043f
("dev: add per net_device packet type chains").

skb->dev becomes NULL and we crash in __netif_receive_skb_core().

Before above commit, different kind of bugs or corruptions could happen
without major crash.

But the root cause is that phonet_rcv() can queue skb without checking
if skb is shared or not.

Many thanks to Ivaylo Dimitrov for his help, diagnosis and tests.
