[ Upstream commit a94b9367e0 ]
After rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, ip6_pol_route() will be
called with only rcu held. That means rt6 route deletion could happen
simultaneously with rt6_make_pcpu_rt(). This could potentially cause
memory leak if rt6_release() is called right before rt6_make_pcpu_rt()
on the same route.
This patch grabs rt->rt6i_ref safely before calling rt6_make_pcpu_rt()
to make sure rt6_release() will not get triggered while
rt6_make_pcpu_rt() is in progress. And rt6_release() is called after
rt6_make_pcpu_rt() is finished.
Note: As we are incrementing rt->rt6i_ref in ip6_pol_route(), there is a
very slim chance that fib6_purge_rt() will be triggered unnecessarily
when deleting a route if ip6_pol_route() running on another thread picks
this route as well and tries to make pcpu cache for it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
