4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 14d066c3531a87f727968cacd85bd95c75f59843 ] Registering an IPv4 address with the HW takes quite a while, so we temporarily drop the ip_htable lock. Any concurrent add/remove of the same IP adjusts the IP's use count, and (on remove) is then blocked by addr->in_progress. After the register call has completed, we check the use count for concurrently attempted add/remove calls - and possibly straight-away deregister the IP again. This happens via l3_delete_ip(), which 1) looks up the queried IP in the htable (getting a reference to the *same* queried object), 2) deregisters the IP from the HW, and 3) frees the IP object. The caller in l3_add_ip() then does a second free on the same object. For this case, skip all the extra checks and lookups in l3_delete_ip() and just deregister & free the IP object ourselves.
