From d69bbf88c8d0b367cf3e3a052f6daadf630ee566 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2015 17:51:23 -0800 Subject: net: fix a race in dst_release() 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") Reported-by: Greg Thelen Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
