The bug is here: if (!pdev) {
The list iterator value 'pdev' will *always* be set and non-NULL by for_each_netdev(), so it is incorrect to assume that the iterator value will be NULL if the list is empty or no element found (in this case, the check 'if (!pdev)' can be bypassed as it always be false unexpectly).
To fix the bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator, while use the original variable 'pdev' as a dedicated pointer to point to the found element.
I don't think that the description is correct. We are talking about loopback interface which received packet, the pdev will always exist. Most likely. the check of "if (!pdev)" is to catch impossible situation where IPV6 packet was sent over loopback, but IPV6 is not enabled.
Thanks
