What's the upstream commit id?
The commit wasn't needed upstream, as I only sent the original patch after 79e7fff47b7b ("net: remove support for per driver ndo_busy_poll()") had made the fix unnecessary in Linus' tree.
May've gotten lost in the shuffle due to my poor Fixes tags. The patch in question applied only on top of the 4.9 stable release at the time, but the actual NPE had been around in some form since 3.11 / 0602129286705 ("net: add low latency socket poll").
Ok, can people then resend this and be very explicit as to why this is needed only in a stable kernel tree and get reviews from people agreeing that this really is the correct fix?
thanks,
