In ip_output() skb->dev is updated from the skb_dst(skb)->dev this can become invalid when the interface is unregistered and freed, Introduced new skb_dst_dev_rcu() function to be used instead of skb_dst_dev() within rcu_locks in ip_output.This will ensure that all the skb's associated with the dev being deregistered will be transnmitted out first, before freeing the dev. Given that ip_output() is called within an rcu_read_lock() critical section or from a bottom-half context, it is safe to introduce an RCU read-side critical section within it. Multiple panic call stacks were observed when UL traffic was run in concurrency with device deregistration from different functions, pasting one sample for reference.

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.
