From: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 886b7a50100a50f1cbd08a6f8ec5884dfbe082dc ] It is a followup after the fix in commit 9c69a1320515 ("route: Avoid crash from dereferencing NULL rt->from") rt6_do_redirect(): 1. NULL checking is needed on rt->from because a parallel fib6_info delete could happen that sets rt->from to NULL. (e.g. rt6_remove_exception() and fib6_drop_pcpu_from()). 2. fib6_info_hold() is not enough. Same reason as (1). Meaning, holding dst->__refcnt cannot ensure rt->from is not NULL or rt->from->fib6_ref is not 0. Instead of using fib6_info_hold_safe() which ip6_rt_cache_alloc() is already doing, this patch chooses to extend the rcu section to keep "from" dereference-able after checking for NULL. inet6_rtm_getroute(): 1. NULL checking is also needed on rt->from for a similar reason. Note that inet6_rtm_getroute() is using RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_UNLOCKED.
