From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5aa2820177af650293b2f9f1873c1f6f8e4ad7a4 ] hsr_forward_skb() a skb and keeps information in an on-stack hsr_frame_info. hsr_get_node() assigns hsr_frame_info::node_src which is from a RCU list. This pointer is used later in hsr_forward_do(). I don't see a reason why this pointer can't vanish midway since there is no guarantee that hsr_forward_skb() is invoked from an RCU read section. Use rcu_read_lock() to protect hsr_frame_info::node_src from its assignment until it is no longer used.
