[PATCH] ipv4: Do not use dead fib_info entries.

From: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Date: 2012-05-11 02:17:23
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

Due to RCU lookups and RCU based release, fib_info objects can
be found during lookup which have fi->fib_dead set.

We must ignore these entries, otherwise we risk dereferencing
the parts of the entry which are being torn down.
