[ Upstream commitbb7f8f199c] resolved_dev returned might be NULL as ifindex is transient number. Ignoring NULL check of resolved_dev might crash the kernel. Therefore perform NULL check before accessing resolved_dev. Additionally rdma_resolve_ip_route() invokes addr_resolve() which performs check and address translation for loopback ifindex. Therefore, checking it again in rdma_resolve_ip_route() is not helpful. Therefore, the code is simplified to avoid IFF_LOOPBACK check.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
