[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 158/160] net: possible use after free in dst_release

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.19.8-ckt13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Francesco Ruggeri <fruggeri at aristanetworks.com>

commit 07a5d38453599052aff0877b16bb9c1585f08609 upstream.

dst_release should not access dst->flags after decrementing
__refcnt to 0. The dst_entry may be in dst_busy_list and
dst_gc_task may dst_destroy it before dst_release gets a chance
to access dst->flags.

Fixes: d69bbf88c8d0 ("net: fix a race in dst_release()")
Fixes: 27b75c95f10d ("net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst")
