2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Nicolas Dichtel <[email protected]> The bug was introduced in 2.6.32.61 by commit b8710128e201 ("inet: add RCU protection to inet->opt") (it's a backport of upstream commit f6d8bd051c39). In SCTP case, packet is already routed, hence we jump to the label 'packet_routed', but without rcu_read_lock(). After this label, rcu_read_unlock() is called unconditionally.
