4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Ahern <dsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3dc857f0e8fc22610a59cbb346ba62c6e921863f ] The VRF driver takes a reference to the inet6_dev on the VRF device for its rt6_local dst when handling local traffic through the VRF device as a loopback. When the device is deleted the driver does a put on the idev but does not reset rt6i_idev in the rt6_info struct. When the dst is destroyed, dst_destroy calls ip6_dst_destroy which does a second put for what is essentially the same reference causing it to be prematurely freed. Reset rt6i_idev after the put in the vrf driver.
