-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
[ upstream commit: 1ac06e0306d0192a7a4d9ea1c9e06d355ce7e7d3 ]
Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes.
When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible.
Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this down.
