[PATCH] sctp: Add rcu lock to protect dst entry in sctp_transport_route

From: Su Yanjun
Date: Sun Jun 09 2019 - 23:28:49 EST


syzbot found a crash in rt_cache_valid. Problem is that when more
threads release dst in sctp_transport_route, the route cache can
be freed.

As follows,
p1:
sctp_transport_route
dst_release
get_dst

p2:
sctp_transport_route
dst_release
get_dst
...

If enough threads calling dst_release will cause dst->refcnt==0
then rcu softirq will reclaim the dst entry,get_dst then use
the freed memory.

This patch adds rcu lock to protect the dst_entry here.
