From: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cefc23554fc259114e78a7b0908aac4610ee18eb ] Currently, when an FTE is allocated, its refcount is decreased to 0 with the purpose it will not be a stand alone steering object and every rule (destination) of the FTE would increase the refcount. When mlx5_cleanup_fs is called while not all rules were deleted by the steering users, it hit refcount underflow on the FTE once clean_tree calls to tree_remove_node after the deleted rules already decreased the refcount to 0. FTE is no longer destroyed implicitly when the last rule (destination) is deleted. mlx5_del_flow_rules avoids it by increasing the refcount on the FTE and destroy it explicitly after all rules were deleted. So we can avoid the refcount underflow by making FTE as stand alone object. In addition need to set del_hw_func to FTE so the HW object will be destroyed when the FTE is deleted from the cleanup_tree flow. refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
