Hi David,

Sorry, would you like to give me more hints?

I saw your commit 1f17e2f2c8a8 ("net: ipv6: ignore null_entry on route
dumps"). But I think this issue has been fixed by

2f460933f58e ("ipv6: initialize route null entry in addrconf_init()") and
242d3a49a2a1 ("ipv6: reorder ip6_route_dev_notifier after ipv6_dev_notf")

I use a reproducer which add unreachable route in netns with lo down. And I
could not trigger Panic in the fixed kernel. That's why I think we could
remove ip6_null_entry check in rt6_dump_route().

Please correct me if I make any mistake.

Thanks
Hangbin
