[PATCH net v2] net: Do not hold the reference for the same sk_rx_dst

From: Kevin Xu <hidden>
Date: 2017-03-19 02:05:10
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [tcp], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Neal Cardwell, Linus Torvalds

In some rare cases, inet_sk_rx_dst_set() may be called multiple times
on the same dst, causing double refcounting. Eventually, it
prevents net_device to be destroyed. The bug manifested as

unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

in the kernel log, preventing new network namespace creation.
