4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6c0e7284d89995877740d8a26c3e99a937312a3c ] A recent patch removed the dst_free() on the allocated dst_entry in ipv4_blackhole_route(). The dst_free() marked the dst_entry as dead and added it to the gc list. I.e. it was setup for a one time usage. As a result we may now have a blackhole route cached at a socket on some IPsec scenarios. This makes the connection unusable. Fix this by marking the dst_entry directly at allocation time as 'dead', so it is used only once. Fixes: b838d5e1c5b6 ("ipv4: mark DST_NOGC and remove the operation of dst_free()") Reported-by: Tobias Brunner <tobias@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
