    net: set default network namespace in init_dummy_netdev() · 35edfdc7
    Josh Elsasser authored
    Assign a default net namespace to netdevs created by init_dummy_netdev().
    Fixes a NULL pointer dereference caused by busy-polling a socket bound to
    an iwlwifi wireless device, which bumps the per-net BUSYPOLLRXPACKETS stat
    if napi_poll() received packets:
    
      BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000190
      IP: napi_busy_loop+0xd6/0x200
      Call Trace:
        sock_poll+0x5e/0x80
        do_sys_poll+0x324/0x5a0
        SyS_poll+0x6c/0xf0
        do_syscall_64+0x6b/0x1f0
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2
    
    Fixes: 7db6b048 ("net: Commonize busy polling code to focus on napi_id instead of socket")
