commit e2d4a80f93fcfaf72e2e20daf6a28e39c3b90677 upstream.
On a non-forwarding 802.11s link between two fairly busy neighboring nodes (iperf with -P 16 at ~850MBit/s TCP; 1733.3 MBit/s VHT-MCS 9 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 4), so with frequent PREQ retries, usually after around 30-40 seconds the following crash would occur:

With some added debug output / delays we were able to push the crash from the timer callback runner into the callback function and by that shedding some light on which object holding the timer gets corrupted:

The issue happens due to the following sequence of events:
1) mesh_path_start_discovery(): -> spin_unlock_bh(&mpath->state_lock) before mesh_path_sel_frame_tx()
2) mesh_path_free_rcu() -> del_timer_sync(&mpath->timer) [...] -> kfree_rcu(mpath)
3) mesh_path_start_discovery(): -> mod_timer(&mpath->timer, ...) [...] -> rcu_read_unlock()
4) mesh_path_free_rcu()'s kfree_rcu(): -> kfree(mpath)
5) mesh_path_timer() starts after timeout, using freed mpath object
So a use-after-free issue due to a timer re-arming bug caused by an early spin-unlocking.
This patch fixes this issue by re-checking if mpath is about to be free'd and if so bails out of re-arming the timer.
