    ipv6: add rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node · c5cff856
    Wei Wang authored
    We currently keep rt->rt6i_node pointing to the fib6_node for the route.
    And some functions make use of this pointer to dereference the fib6_node
    from rt structure, e.g. rt6_check(). However, as there is neither
    refcount nor rcu taken when dereferencing rt->rt6i_node, it could
    potentially cause crashes as rt->rt6i_node could be set to NULL by other
    CPUs when doing a route deletion.
    This patch introduces an rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node and
    makes sure the functions that dereference it takes rcu_read_lock().
    
    Note: there is no "Fixes" tag because this bug was there in a very
    early stage.
