      xfrm: release device reference for invalid state · 4944a4b1
      Xiaodong Xu authored
      An ESP packet could be decrypted in async mode if the input handler for
      this packet returns -EINPROGRESS in xfrm_input(). At this moment the device
      reference in skb is held. Later xfrm_input() will be invoked again to
      resume the processing.
      If the transform state is still valid it would continue to release the
      device reference and there won't be a problem; however if the transform
      state is not valid when async resumption happens, the packet will be
      dropped while the device reference is still being held.
      When the device is deleted for some reason and the reference to this
      device is not properly released, the kernel will keep logging like:
      
      unregister_netdevice: waiting for ppp2 to become free. Usage count = 1
      
      The issue is observed when running IPsec traffic over a PPPoE device based
      on a bridge interface. By terminating the PPPoE connection on the server
      end for multiple times, the PPPoE device on the client side will eventually
      get stuck on the above warning message.
      
      This patch will check the async mode first and continue to release device
      reference in async resumption, before it is dropped due to invalid state.
      
      v2: Do not assign address family from outer_mode in the transform if the
      state is invalid
      
      v3: Release device reference in the error path instead of jumping to resume
      
      Fixes: 4ce3dbe3 ("xfrm: Fix xfrm_input() to verify state is valid when (encap_type < 0)")
