[ Upstream commitee60ad219f] The race occurs in __mkroute_output() when 2 threads lookup a dst: CPU A CPU B find_exception() find_exception() [fnhe expires] ip_del_fnhe() [fnhe is deleted] rt_bind_exception() In rt_bind_exception() it will bind a deleted fnhe with the new dst, and this dst will get no chance to be freed. It causes a dev defcnt leak and consecutive dmesg warnings: unregister_netdevice: waiting for ethX to become free. Usage count = 1 Especially thanks Jon to identify the issue. This patch fixes it by setting fnhe_daddr to 0 in ip_del_fnhe() to stop binding the deleted fnhe with a new dst when checking fnhe's fnhe_daddr and daddr in rt_bind_exception(). It works as both ip_del_fnhe() and rt_bind_exception() are protected by fnhe_lock and the fhne is freed by kfree_rcu().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
