4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0dcb82254d65f72333aa50ad626d1e9665ad093b ] llc_sap_put() decreases the refcnt before deleting sap from the global list. Therefore, there is a chance llc_sap_find() could find a sap with zero refcnt in this global list. Close this race condition by checking if refcnt is zero or not in llc_sap_find(), if it is zero then it is being removed so we can just treat it as gone.
