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.

In the code path where only rcu read lock is held, e.g. in the route lookup code path, it is not safe to directly call fib6_info_hold() because the fib6_info may already have been deleted but still exists in the rcu grace period. Holding reference to it could cause double free and crash the kernel. This patch adds a new function fib6_info_hold_safe() and replace fib6_info_hold() in all necessary places. Syzbot reported 3 crash traces because of this. One of them is: 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device team0 IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): team0: link becomes ready dst_release: dst:(____ptrval____) refcnt:-1 dst_release: dst:(____ptrval____) refcnt:-2 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4845 at include/net/dst.h:239 dst_hold include/net/dst.h:239 [inline] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4845 at include/net/dst.h:239 ip6_setup_cork+0xd66/0x1830 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1204 dst_release: dst:(____ptrval____) refcnt:-1 Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...
