This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cls_bpf: don't decrement net's refcount when offload fails to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cls_bpf-don-t-decrement-net-s-refcount-when-offload-fails.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Dec 14 11:45:40 CET 2017 From: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 11:11:41 -0800 Subject: cls_bpf: don't decrement net's refcount when offload fails From: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 25415cec502a1232b19fffc85465882b19a90415 ] When cls_bpf offload was added it seemed like a good idea to call cls_bpf_delete_prog() instead of extending the error handling path, since the software state is fully initialized at that point. This handling of errors without jumping to the end of the function is error prone, as proven by later commit missing that extra call to __cls_bpf_delete_prog(). __cls_bpf_delete_prog() is now expected to be invoked with a reference on exts->net or the field zeroed out. The call on the offload's error patch does not fullfil this requirement, leading to each error stealing a reference on net namespace. Create a function undoing what cls_bpf_set_parms() did and use it from __cls_bpf_delete_prog() and the error path.
