Steffen Klassert 0152eee6fc xfrm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in xfrm_input when skb_dst_force clears the dst_entry. 
Since commit 222d7dbd25 ("net: prevent dst uses after free")
skb_dst_force() might clear the dst_entry attached to the skb.
The xfrm code doesn't expect this to happen, so we crash with
a NULL pointer dereference in this case.

Fix it by checking skb_dst(skb) for NULL after skb_dst_force()
and drop the packet in case the dst_entry was cleared. We also
move the skb_dst_force() to a codepath that is not used when
the transformation was offloaded, because in this case we
don't have a dst_entry attached to the skb.

The output and forwarding path was already fixed by
commit 9e14379378 ("xfrm: Fix NULL pointer dereference when
skb_dst_force clears the dst_entry.")

Fixes: 222d7dbd25 ("net: prevent dst uses after free")

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.
