net/core: neighbour update Oops
When configuring DMVPN (GRE + openNHRP) and a GRE remote address is configured a kernel Oops is observed. The obserseved Oops is caused by a NULL header_ops pointer (neigh->dev->header_ops) in neigh_update_hhs() when void (*update)(struct hh_cache*, const struct net_device*, const unsigned char *) = neigh->dev->header_ops->cache_update; is executed. The dev associated with the NULL header_ops is the GRE interface. This patch guards against the possibility that header_ops is NULL. This Oops was first observed in kernel version 2.6.26.8.
