[PATCH 3.4 010/125] net: fix a race in dst_release()

Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Eric Dumazet <redacted>

3.4.113-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit d69bbf88c8d0b367cf3e3a052f6daadf630ee566 upstream.

Only cpu seeing dst refcount going to 0 can safely
dereference dst->flags.

Otherwise an other cpu might already have freed the dst.

Fixes: 27b75c95f10d ("net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst")
