Martin KaFai Lau 886b7a5010 ipv6: A few fixes on dereferencing rt->from 
It is a followup after the fix in
commit 9c69a13205 ("route: Avoid crash from dereferencing NULL rt->from")

rt6_do_redirect():
1. NULL checking is needed on rt->from because a parallel
   fib6_info delete could happen that sets rt->from to NULL.
   (e.g. rt6_remove_exception() and fib6_drop_pcpu_from()).

2. fib6_info_hold() is not enough.  Same reason as (1).
   Meaning, holding dst->__refcnt cannot ensure
   rt->from is not NULL or rt->from->fib6_ref is not 0.

   Instead of using fib6_info_hold_safe() which ip6_rt_cache_alloc()
   is already doing, this patch chooses to extend the rcu section
   to keep "from" dereference-able after checking for NULL.

inet6_rtm_getroute():
1. NULL checking is also needed on rt->from for a similar reason.
   Note that inet6_rtm_getroute() is using RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_UNLOCKED.

Fixes: a68886a691 ("net/ipv6: Make from in rt6_info rcu protected")

README 

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.
