Subject: [PATCH] l2tp: fix a race in l2tp_ip_sendmsg()
Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:25:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1339172700.6001.128.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

Commit 081b1b1bb27f (l2tp: fix l2tp_ip_sendmsg() route handling) added
a race, in case IP route cache is disabled.

In this case, we should not do the dst_release(&rt->dst), since it'll
free the dst immediately, instead of waiting a RCU grace period.
