From: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com> There is an earlier check to see if xdp_ring is null when configuring the tx ring, so assuming that it can still be null, the clearing of the xdp_ring->state currently could end up with a null pointer dereference. Fix this by only clearing the bit if xdp_ring is not null.
