3.16.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c1c477217882c610a2ba0268f5faf36c9c092528 upstream. Canonical way to fetch sk_user_data from an encap_rcv() handler called from UDP stack in rcu protected section is to use rcu_dereference_sk_user_data(), otherwise compiler might read it multiple times.
