===============
[ Upstream commit 5037e9ef9454917b047f9f3a19b4dd179fbf7cd4 ]
David Wilder reported crashes caused by dst reuse.
<quote David>
I am seeing a crash on a distro V4.2.3 kernel caused by a double
release of a dst_entry. In ipv4_dst_destroy() the call to
list_empty() finds a poisoned next pointer, indicating the dst_entry
has already been removed from the list and freed. The crash occurs
18 to 24 hours into a run of a network stress exerciser.

Thanks to his detailed report and analysis, we were able to understand
the core issue.
IP early demux can associate a dst to skb, after a lookup in TCP/UDP
sockets.
When socket cache is not properly set, we want to store into
sk->sk_dst_cache the dst for future IP early demux lookups,
by acquiring a stable refcount on the dst.
Problem is this acquisition is simply using an atomic_inc(),
which works well, unless the dst was queued for destruction from
dst_release() noticing dst refcount went to zero, if DST_NOCACHE
was set on dst.
We need to make sure current refcount is not zero before incrementing
it, or risk double free as David reported.
This patch, being a stable candidate, adds two new helpers, and use
them only from IP early demux problematic paths.
It might be possible to merge in net-next skb_dst_force() and
skb_dst_force_safe(), but I prefer having the smallest patch for stable
kernels : Maybe some skb_dst_force() callers do not expect skb->dst
can suddenly be cleared.
Can probably be backported back to linux-3.6 kernels
