From 36b232c880c99fc03e135198c7c08d3d4b4f83ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sabrina Dubroca Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2016 15:37:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] macsec: RXSAs don't need to hold a reference on RXSCs Following the previous patch, RXSCs are held and properly refcounted in the RX path (instead of being implicitly held by their SA), so the SA doesn't need to hold a reference on its parent RXSC. This also avoids panics on module unload caused by the double layer of RCU callbacks (call_rcu frees the RXSA, which puts the final reference on the RXSC and allows to free it in its own call_rcu) that commit b196c22af5c3 ("macsec: add rcu_barrier() on module exit") didn't protect against. There were also some refcounting bugs in macsec_add_rxsa where I didn't put the reference on the RXSC on the error paths, which would lead to memory leaks.
