dst->dev is read locklessly in many contexts,
and written in dst_dev_put().
Fixing all the races is going to need many changes.
We probably will have to add full RCU protection.
Add three helpers to ease this painful process.
static inline struct net_device *dst_dev(const struct dst_entry *dst)
{
return READ_ONCE(dst->dev);
}
static inline struct net_device *skb_dst_dev(const struct sk_buff *skb)
{
return dst_dev(skb_dst(skb));
}
static inline struct net *skb_dst_dev_net(const struct sk_buff *skb)
{
return dev_net(skb_dst_dev(skb));
}
static inline struct net *skb_dst_dev_net_rcu(const struct sk_buff *skb)
{
return dev_net_rcu(skb_dst_dev(skb));
}
Fixes: 4a6ce2b6f2 ("net: introduce a new function dst_dev_put()")

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 reStructuredText 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.
