[ Upstream commit 5aa2820177af650293b2f9f1873c1f6f8e4ad7a4 ] hsr_forward_skb() a skb and keeps information in an on-stack hsr_frame_info. hsr_get_node() assigns hsr_frame_info::node_src which is from a RCU list. This pointer is used later in hsr_forward_do(). I don't see a reason why this pointer can't vanish midway since there is no guarantee that hsr_forward_skb() is invoked from an RCU read section. Use rcu_read_lock() to protect hsr_frame_info::node_src from its assignment until it is no longer used.

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. 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.
