net: possible use after free in dst_release
dst_release should not access dst->flags after decrementing __refcnt to 0. The dst_entry may be in dst_busy_list and dst_gc_task may dst_destroy it before dst_release gets a chance to access dst->flags. Fixes: d69bbf88c8d0 ("net: fix a race in dst_release()") Fixes: 27b75c95f10d ("net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst") Signed-off-by: Francesco Ruggeri <fruggeri@arista.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
