Subject: [PATCH 04/24] ipv6: tcp: add rcu locking in tcp_v6_send_synack()

From: Eric Dumazet <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 09:35:51 -0800

[ Upstream commit 3e4006f0b86a5ae5eb0e8215f9a9e1db24506977 ]

When first SYNACK is sent, we already hold rcu_read_lock(), but this
is not true if a SYNACK is retransmitted, as a timer (soft) interrupt
does not hold rcu_read_lock()

Fixes: 45f6fad84cc30 ("ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np->opt")
