Merge branch 'ipv6_percpu_rt_deadlock'
Martin KaFai Lau says: ==================== ipv6: Fix a potential deadlock when creating pcpu rt v1 -> v2: A minor change in the commit message of patch 2. This patch series fixes a potential deadlock when creating a pcpu rt. It happens when dst_alloc() decided to run gc. Something like this: read_lock(&table->tb6_lock); ip6_rt_pcpu_alloc() => dst_alloc() => ip6_dst_gc() => write_lock(&table->tb6_lock); /* oops */ Patch 1 and 2 are some prep works. Patch 3 is the fix.
