A NULL page from sg_page() in sk_msg_recvmsg() can reach

prevent the crash.
Interesting. I thought the sge in this case are build from the kernel, I
did not expect a null page to be possible. Can you describe in the
commit message how such bad sges are created?

Does not apply to net. Please rebase and resend, adding the target tree
in the subj prefix and specifying a revision number.

Thanks,
