[ 30/47] ipv4: Do not use dead fib_info entries.

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Jun 07 2012 - 00:24:48 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


From: "David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dccd9ecc374462e5d6a5b8f8110415a86c2213d8 ]

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.
