With rwlock, it is safe to call dst_hold() in the read thread because read thread is guaranteed to be separated from write thread. However, after we replace rwlock with rcu, it is no longer safe to use dst_hold(). A dst might already have been deleted but is waiting for the rcu grace period to pass before freeing the memory when a read thread is trying to do dst_hold(). This could potentially cause double free issue. So this commit replaces all dst_hold() with dst_hold_safe() in all read thread to avoid this double free issue. And in order to make the code more compact, a new function ip6_hold_safe() is introduced. It calls dst_hold_safe() first, and if that fails, it will either fall back to hold and return net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry or set rt to NULL according to the caller's need.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
