Hi Greg,
in kernel 4.14 i have seen a NULL pointer deref in
[65064.613465] RIP: 0010:ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu+0x755/0x850
(i have a core dump and detailed analysis)
That looks like this patch could have prevented it:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable-commits/msg133055.html
this one was queued for 4.14, but i can't find it in git tree?
Any idea who/what buried this one?
In 4.19 it is present.
Because our customer uses 4.14 (going to 4.14.212 in a few days) i kindly want to ask why this patch hasn't entered 4.14.
Best regards
Carsten

Because it breaks the build? Try it yourself and see what happens :)
I will gladly take a working backport if you can submit it.
thanks,

yep. rt_add_uncached_list is implemented _after_ the call :-(
I will gladly take a working backport if you can submit it.
Please find it attached - i needed to move rt_add_uncached_list before
the rt_cache_route, nothing else changed.
This is for 4.14 only, as other kernels do have this patch.
I can't reproduce the crash at will, but at least i could compile and flash it on my target.
And the target comes up .. hopefully the testing in other/newer kernels
done by the developers of the patch is also valid for 4.14.
thanks,

Thanks,
