Subject: [ 31/61] net: loopback: fix a dst refcounting issue

3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 794ed393b707f01858f5ebe2ae5eabaf89d00022 ]

Ben Greear reported crashes in ip_rcv_finish() on a stress
test involving many macvlans.

We tracked the bug to a dst use after free. ip_rcv_finish()
was calling dst->input() and got garbage for dst->input value.

It appears the bug is in loopback driver, lacking
a skb_dst_force() before calling netif_rx().

As a result, a non refcounted dst, normally protected by a
RCU read_lock section, was escaping this section and could
be freed before the packet being processed.

This bug was introduced in linux-2.6.35, in commit
7fee226ad2397b (net: add a noref bit on skb dst)

skb_dst_force() is enforced in dev_queue_xmit() for devices having a
qdisc.
