[ Upstream commit 27d53323664c549b5bb2dfaaf6f7ad6e0376a64e ]
In the tx path of l2tp, l2tp_xmit_skb() calls skb_dst_set() to set
skb's dst. However, it will eventually call inet6_csk_xmit() or
ip_queue_xmit() where skb's dst will be overwritten by:
skb_dst_set_noref(skb, dst);
without releasing the old dst in skb. Then it causes dst/dev refcnt leak:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1
This can be reproduced by simply running:
# modprobe l2tp_eth && modprobe l2tp_ip
# sh ./tools/testing/selftests/net/l2tp.sh
So before going to inet6_csk_xmit() or ip_queue_xmit(), skb's dst
should be dropped. This patch is to fix it by removing skb_dst_set()
from l2tp_xmit_skb() and moving skb_dst_drop() into l2tp_xmit_core().
Fixes: 3557baabf280 ("[L2TP]: PPP over L2TP driver core")
