tcp: drop dst in tcp_add_backlog()
Under stress, softirq rx handler often hits a socket owned by the user, and has to queue the packet into socket backlog. When this happens, skb dst refcount is taken before we escape rcu protected region. This is done from __sk_add_backlog() calling skb_dst_force(). Consumer will have to perform the opposite costly operation. AFAIK nothing in tcp stack requests the dst after skb was stored in the backlog. If this was the case, we would have had failures already since skb_dst_force() can end up clearing skb dst anyway. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
