commit e3eb7dd47bd4806f00e104eb6da092c435f9fb21 upstream. b44_free_rings() accesses b44::rx_buffers (and ::tx_buffers) unconditionally, but b44::rx_buffers is only valid when the device is up (they get allocated in b44_open(), and deallocated again in b44_close()), any other time these are just a NULL pointers. So if you try to change the pause params while the network interface is disabled/administratively down, everything explodes (which likely netifd tries to do).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
