4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Francesco Ruggeri <fruggeri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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.
