Use the neighbour lock when copying the MAC address from the neighbour
data struct in dst_fetch_ha.
When not using the lock, it is possible for the function to race with
neigh_update(), causing it to copy an torn MAC address:
rdma_resolve_addr()
rdma_resolve_ip()
addr_resolve()
addr_resolve_neigh()
fetch_ha()
dst_fetch_ha()
memcpy(dev_addr->dst_dev_addr, n->ha, MAX_ADDR_LEN)
and
net_ioctl()
arp_ioctl()
arp_rec_delete()
arp_invalidate()
neigh_update()
__neigh_update()
memcpy(&neigh->ha, lladdr, dev->addr_len)
It is possible to provoke this error by calling rdma_resolve_addr() in a
tight loop, while deleting the corresponding ARP entry in another tight
loop.

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 Restructured Text 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.
