Summary
vrf: revert "vrf: Remove unnecessary RCU-bh critical section"
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vrf: revert "vrf: Remove unnecessary RCU-bh critical section"

This reverts commit 504fc6f4f7f681d2a03aa5f68aad549d90eab853.

devqueuexmitnit is expected to be called with BH disabled. _devqueuexmit has the following:

    /* Disable soft irqs for various locks below. Also
     * stops preemption for RCU.
     */
    rcu_read_lock_bh();

VRF must follow this invariant. The referenced commit removed this protection. Which triggered a lockdep warning:
